Thanks, Marilyn for flagging this. I’ve updated the section you refer to with yellow highlighting to make clear that it will need to be updated per the outcome of the survey. The language there is a remainder from the Initial Report where the original focus was on mechanisms A an B. There are some other spots in the report where we have flagged that if mechanism C will be recommended as a result of the survey, the language will need to be enhanced as it is currently lacking.

I will spend time reading the full report in more detail, having only skimmed it now, at 6 am my time. However, I have an immediate serious issue with page 14 and 15. We have spent the last several weeks discussing Mechanism A and Mechanism C. Almost no time even mentioning Mechanism B. Yet, I see in the report that Mechanism C is not even referenced under Charter Question #7. By staff and the leadership team even including Mechanism A and B here, it implies that these are the two mechanisms preferred for further assessment. I do not believe that is generally supported by the majority of the members of the CCWG-AP. We haven't yet "rated" the three mechanisms, but we have primarily discussed only two in the recent discussions -- and that does not include Mechanism B. So, I don't see what the justification is for excluding Mechanism C here OR, these two paragraphs should be edited out and just keep the new text. I am sure no one means to reflect a preference here, and possibly this is just unfortunate. However, think about it: if the "rating" we are doing selects A and C, and then the staff/leadership draft in the next paragraph shows preference for A and B, it gives a very confusing message to the community, to the Board, and to the SO/ACs. ________________________________ From: Ccwg-auctionproceeds <ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Marika Konings <marika.konings@icann.org> Sent: Friday, August 30, 2019 6:29 PM To: ccwg-auctionproceeds@icann.org <ccwg-auctionproceeds@icann.org> Subject: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] For your review - latest version of Final Report by Wednesday 11 September 2019 Dear CCWG, Please find here for your review the latest version of the Final Report: https://drive.google.com/a/icann.org/file/d/1hWfSYXuhAalh7F_AkkPDuxU7xf-_bNc...
