Hi all

My 2c with regards to the task set about whether we should add something specific about including UA as a possible Auction Proceeds project when it is already funded as a project under ICANN. With this, and similar projects, I think we need to first look at what is actually being funded by ICANN and whether projects that are important to ICANN's mission but cannot be funded by ICANN could be covered by auction proceeds.

For example, the purpose of the UASG project is outreach. It involves GSE and the UASG network and aims to raise awareness about UA among government and other decision-making influencers, IT professional organisations and related industries, and to promote the concept of a multilingual Internet.

However, the cost, for example, of incentivising software companies to ensure that their "Internet applications and systems treat all TLDs, including new gTLD and internationalised TLDs, in a consistent manner", would not be a project for which ICANN could provide funding support.
