Hi Robert - There’s a lot the future mechanism can financially support - as long as ICANNs limited missions (and bylaws) are respected. Wonderful to hear that you joined this group! And, I’m sure there’s something we can learn from the example you mentioned in your email. Kind regards, Erika Sent from my iPhone

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,
Robert —
