Robert, with due respect, this funding source is focused on creating dissidence toward repressive regimes. While I respect its work, it is not a role model for the CCWG-AP, in my view. The ICANN AP funding mechanism will need to be focused on ICANN's mission. To answer the question in your subject line: this group answered this question in our work and the transcripts document that. I realize you represent the SSAC. Can I ask if SSAC is asking that we start over? We are focused on the mechanism to distribute the current Auction Proceeds, not creating a new global development mechanism, using the Auction Proceeds as a venture capital fund, as far as I can tell. ________________________________ From: Ccwg-auctionproceeds <ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Robert Guerra <rguerra@privaterra.org> Sent: Monday, February 4, 2019 4:02 PM To: Maureen Hilyard Cc: ccwg-auctionproceeds@icann.org Subject: Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Are we trying to reinvent the wheel or Coordinate with other donors: Other Internet Community funding initiatives..

Dear all,
As one of the newest member of the group, let me ask a question - and apologies, if it’s already been discussed..
The question being, has there been any discussion of existing - internet funding initiatives (a quick list below) - their focus area, their processes, opportunities for coordination and collaboration , and best practices that this ccwg might want to incorporate into our work and recommendations?
The US State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour (DRL) annual funding call is , in my opinion, a good example for us to review and comment as it has many of the sections, description of process, review criteria and - Eligibility requirements that, to a certain extent, would also have to be followed by ICANN or spun-off US based entity that might be created.
I welcome others thoughts on this.
regards,
