Dear All .. Apologies again for not being able to attend the face-to-face meeting in Copenhagen, as the drafting of the GAC communique ran late, and thanks to Marika for the action items update .. Reference to the discussion on the DOIs and the below action item, I’m just wondering how this could be pre-empted, for everyone, when we haven’t yet agreed on an answer to question 10. of the Charter: ‘10. To what extent (and, if so, how) could ICANN, the Organization or a constituent part thereof, be the beneficiary of some of the auction funds?’ If the answer to this question ultimately allows ICANN, the Organization, or any of its SOs/ACs to apply for the funds, this means that most (if not all) members and participants of this working group should have answered question 6. of the DOI somehow positively, as it becomes technically possible that they apply for such funds through their SOs/ACs: ‘6. Do you individually and/or through any entity intend to apply for funding through the mechanism that is to be determined through the work of this CCWG?’ Or have I misunderstood the issue ? Kind Regards --Manal From: ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces@icann.org [mailto:ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Marika Konings Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2017 8:02 PM To: ccwg-auctionproceeds@icann.org Subject: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Action items update Dear All, Please note the status of the following action items: Action item #1: Staff to review DOI and indicate with * all those that have responded ‘yes’ to question 6 of the DOI. · Note that staff has reviewed all DOIs and for all those for which the response to question 6 was not a clear ‘NO’, names have been marked with a ‘*’ (see https://community.icann.org/x/FpjDAw). It was pointed out that question 6 could be clarified as follows: ‘Do you individually and/or through any entity intend to apply for funding through the mechanism that is to be determined through the work of this CCWG?’. As a result, the DOI template has been updated (see attached). New action item: All CCWG members and participants to review whether they have been correctly identified as possibly / definitely applying for auction proceeds per the response to question 6. If you believe you have been incorrectly identified and/or need to update your DOI to reflect the clarified question, please contact the GNSO Secretariat at gnso-secs@icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>. . . . . . .
