Hi Elliot, Thanks for this response. If you have suggestions for specific edits to the text to make it more clear that an independent panel will be used for application evaluation regardless of the mechanism chosen, we would really appreciate if you could share these on list by Friday so that they can be discussed on the upcoming call. Regarding the recommended mechanism(s), note that there was discussion in Marrakech (transcript here<https://65.schedule.icann.org/meetings/1058268>) that it might be useful to develop a proposal to narrow the list of recommended mechanism(s). Several members volunteered for a small group to put together a proposal with a focus on two options – mechanism A (ICANN Org department) and mechanism c (ICANN Foundation). That work is still underway, and it is not too late to join the effort. Please let staff know and we can loop you in.

Both times through the document I was jumping around. The point about preferring simply that to a relationship with an external body, which I believe was clear consensus, does remain.

The following text is included on page 21 in response to charter question 3: “Regardless of which mechanism is chosen, an independent evaluation panel would be established and responsible for the review and evaluation of applications. Neither the Board nor staff will be taking decisions on individual applications but will instead focus its consideration of the slate on whether the rules of the process were followed by the independent panel. However, due care will need to be given during the implementation phase that safeguards are in place to ensure the independence of the members of the independent evaluation panel.” Erika and Alan are working on some additional proposed text in that same section to provide additional detail on the role of the community. There is currently a placeholder on page 21 for that text. If you would like to contribute to that work, I’m sure they would welcome your input, noting that there will be an opportunity for the full CCWG to “fine tune” that text once they have circulated it. I hope this is helpful.

Further, I feel like I am making the same points over repeatedly. I believe that we have repeatedly discussed and agreed through the process that the preferred approach was: * have the review and decisions on awards made by members of the community sitting in a group (how this is selected is tbd). * not have staff perform this function. This will be, to my recollection, the third time I have raised this as at odds with a written report. Every time I raise this issue in a meeting there is broad agreement and no one on the other side. If feels to me like the report reads: * staff will perform this function with an external organization as a partner. Did something dramatic happen in Marrakech that overturned nearly two years of discussions? Again, I feel lost. Please help.
