I agree with Tony that old #12 should stays in with a comment that "The CCWG considers this type of project consistent with ICANN’s mission." While some folks might not support the idea for funding, it would be near impossible to argue that a consumer education campaign about unique Internet identifiers is outside of ICANN's mission. This is especially the case as ICANN has undertaken consumer education efforts in the past. Thanks for flagging it Tony. Jon

Marika,

Thanks for this well compiled list of examples.

I have one comment related to the following:

(Previously #12) Projects that educate users about what a website is and how they can obtain a unique identifier -- without prejudice to gTLD or country code. This may be of particular interest to small and medium businesses or farms, and entrepreneurs. Projects should avoid “marketing” any particular option, but help to highlight how the DNS works, and how to use a domain name, generally.

I beleive this was one of my early suggestions...

Perhaps the way it is worded raises concerns about it being a "marketing" initiative.

I would suggest that ICANN's main source of funding today is from contributions received from registries and registrars (related to the sale of domain names; proceeds from the sale ol ASNs and IP address blocks are retained by the RIRs such as RIPE, ARIN, etc.). The social networks have become preferred means of online identification and content exhibition, specially Facebook and Instagram. ICANN has no business in marketing TLDs of course, but in view of the budget issues that have emerged recently, it might be useful to have some programs going that simply highlight the characteristics of using a gTLD or ccTLD as a primary online ID, and the fact that controlling the vehicle of online content exhibition might contribute to avoid scenarios such as the recent Facebook episodes.

In a way, example 3 has some concurrence with this comment.

Thanks

Tony Harris

==============================

New gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG meeting of Thursday 10 May at 14.00 UTC

These high-level notes are designed to help the CCWG navigate through the content of the call and are not meant as a substitute for the transcript and/or recording. The MP3, transcript, and chat are provided separately and are posted on the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/x/DLHDAw <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_D...>.

Roll Call · Roll call will be taken from Webex

· Please remember to mute your microphone to avoid background noise and state your name for transcription purposes

Preamble · See latest version shared on the mailing list just prior to the meeting.

· CCWG discussed previously whether to further work on it based on the board input or whether to drop it. Agreed to undertake some further work to see if it would be possible to modify it to address the Board input received and get it into a state to include it in the Initial Report for community consideration.

· Only a small number of CCWG members/participants provided input - important that everyone now has a look at it and see if you are comfortable with the updates as made, for inclusion in the Initial Report.

Action item #1: CCWG to review latest version of preamble and provide input/feedback at the latest by Wednesday 16 May at 18.00 UTC – see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rrlLk17owAx5dmm1XjD_X-LGlRkVnjKtYw5bh8kD... [docs.google.com] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_documen...>

Project Examples · Further comments & edits provided through google doc. Staff to produce a consolidated version aiming to address all comments / edits.

· CCWG should not use specific examples as that would be biasing readers - examples need to be general (e.g. a respectable entity instead of the name of an organization)

Action item #2: Staff to produce a consolidated version for CCWG review Action item #3: CCWG to review consolidated version once circulated by staff. Input to be provided by Wednesday 16 May at 18.00 UTC at the latest.

Survey results See summary (see https://www.surveymonkey.com/results/SM-DFSFDH79L/ [surveymonkey.com] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_re...>) and consolidated version shared on the mailing list prior to the meeting. As a reminder, the straw poll survey was set up to be able to make an assessment whether certain mechanism(s) would score higher against the criteria outlined by the CCWG than others in order to make a determination which mechanism(s) should be considered in further detail in the next phase of work. Unfortunately response levels were fairly low: only 39% of members and 17% of participants responded. Did members consult with their appointing organizations? ALAC members did, although it was difficult to summarize the conversations to date. Would it be possible to see the responses based on just members input - does that change the ranking? Co-chairs did not participate at this stage to let the CCWG make a determination. There are pros and cons to having the community involved - need to understand what is meant by community involvement. All mechanisms appear to allow for community involvement to a certain extend. All mechanisms will need to meet legal and fiduciary requirements. The survey asked about best equipped to meet legal and fiduciary requirements, but indeed the understanding is that all mechanisms will need to meet these requirements. Will need a more detailed presentation on the four mechanisms for the upcoming meeting Disappointing to see low response rate from members to the CCWG. Responses to the survey are mainly based on assumptions instead of concrete information being available. All mechanisms are viable. There will be differences, but would need some scenarios that would need to have more flesh on them. Could you also split funds over different mechanisms? May need to be more forceful in decision-making process? Looking at rating for four mechanisms, scoring is relatively close, with a current preference for a mechanism within ICANN. Does the CCWG want to pass all mechanisms to the Board and have them choose, or does the CCWG want to make a recommendation? Should the survey be reopened to allow for some additional time for members / participants to respond? Should an external person be engaged to flesh out these mechanisms? May need to distinguish between internal to ICANN and external mechanisms? May be difficult as for example, a foundation could be considered internal too. Discuss as part of next week's meeting, whether CCWG can narrow down the # of mechanisms to be further considered? As well as, should an external expert be engaged to put flesh on bones of each mechanism? CCWG expected to respond to these questions during next week's meeting. Might be helpful to reach out to Board liaisons to see whether there are any red flags in relation to any of the mechanisms? Note that charter questions and early conversations in relation to the charter questions have been documented here: https://community.icann.org/x/PNrRAw [community.icann.org] <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_P...>. Those that joined the CCWG at a later stage, are encouraged to review this information.

Action item #4: Staff to reopen survey to allow for additional responses. Deadline: Wednesday 16 May at 18.00 UTC. Action item #5: CCWG members and participants to respond to survey, if they have not done so yet. Staff to send a reminder. Action item #6: Staff to include scoring based on members responses only.
