GNSO Adoption of the Final Report of the New gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group Submitted by: Erika Mann Seconded by: Rafik Dammak Whereas, 1. The New gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group was chartered by the the Address Supporting Organization (ASO), the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC), the Country Code Names Supporting Organization (ccNSO), the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO), the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC), the Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), and the Root Server System Advisory Committee (RSSAC) to develop a proposal(s) for consideration by the Chartering Organizations on the mechanism that should be developed in order to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds. 2. The final proposed charter (https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/CCWG+Charter) was submitted to all ICANN SOs/ACs in October 2016, after which each ICANN SO/AC confirmed the adoption of the charter. The GNSO Council adopted the CCWG charter in November 2016 (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#201611) 3. A call for volunteers (https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2016-12-13-en) was launched in December 2016 and the GNSO appointed five members to the CCWG, including one member serving as Co-Chair. The following GNSO-appointed CCWG members are currently serving on the CCWG: Anne-Aikman Scalese, Jonathan Frost, Johan (Julf) Helsingius, Erika Mann (Co-Chair), and Elliot Noss. 4. The CCWG commenced its work in January 2017. 5. On 11 December 2018, the CCWG published its Initial Report (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initi…) for public comment (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initial-201…) Thirty-seven (37) comments were received in response to this public comment period, including input from the GNSO Council, RySG, RrSG, BC, ISPCP, NCSG, as well as individuals from the GNSO community. 6. The CCWG reviewed public comments and revised recommendations based on this input and further deliberations. On 23 December 2019, the CCWG published a proposed Final Report (https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-new-gtld-auction-proce…) for public comment (https://www.icann.org/public-comments/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-final-2019-…) and requested targeted input from the community on sections of the report that had changed substantially since publication of the Initial Report. Twelve (12) comments were received in response to this public comment period, including input from the RySG, RrSG, IPC, and NCSG. 7. The CCWG reviewed all of the input received and submitted its Final Report (https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/ccwg-auct…) to the Chartering Organizations for their consideration on 29 May 2020. 8. The GNSO Council has reviewed and discussed the Final Report and Recommendations. Resolved, 1. The GNSO Council adopts the Final Report and Recommendations of the New gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group. 2. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to share the results of this motion with the Chairs of the Auction Proceeds CCWG as soon as possible. 3. The GNSO Council expresses its sincere appreciation to the Auction Proceeds CCWG, the GNSO appointed members and participants in that effort, and especially the GNSO-appointed Co-Chair, Erika Mann, for all their hard work in achieving the delivery of the Final Report and Recommendations.

July 23, 2020

Hi All, Until we find a home for the PMT, here is the MPP file (MSFT Project) in the meantime. Note, you will require the application to open this file, or some open-source application are capable of opening these files, but I can't commit to how well the features are translated. As noted on the call, this will be updated at least monthly. This version has not changed much since it was presented at the Extraordinary meeting last week. As staff continues work on the EPDP-P1 Rec#27 Wave 1 report, I do expect considerable adjustments to this plan in preparation for the August Council meeting. Thank you. B Berry Cobb @berrycobb GNSO Policy Consultant From: policy(a)bacinblack.com <policy(a)bacinblack.com> Sent: Monday, July 20, 2020 22:29 To: council(a)gnso.icann.org Subject: GNSO Project List - 20 July 2020 Dear All, Please find attached the latest version of the GNSO Council's Projects List for the meeting on 23 July 2020. Per the agenda, the Council will not review the project list in detail. However, after your review in advance of the meeting and should you find an area that you have questions or parts that need clarification, you will have the opportunity to do so under agenda item #2. https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Final+Proposed+Agend a+23+July+2020 Key Structural Changes: * Please refer to the latest Action/Decision Radar (ADR) (also attached). Note, we're in the process of streamlining the ADR, Projects List, and Council Action Items to Google Docs for a more seamless experience. * The "0 - Planning" section of the Projects List Summary Page has been reduced to a single line item. The link will take you to the Council Actions Items page until we complete the task above. Note, the quantity of the "0 - Planning" section, as depicted on the graph, is based on an initial count of current Council Action Items and items on the ADR. This may not be accurate as this is an iterative process until we balance the new Program Mgmt Tool (PMT) and ADR tools with the Council Action Items and Projects List to minimize overlap. Key Project Changes since May 2020: * CCWG-Auctions - The Council will vote on the motion to adopt the proposed recommendations. * EPDP-Phase 2 - The Health of this project has been reduced to "In-Trouble". The project SitRep should be reviewed in detail on the Projects List and it is a dedicated agenda item. Thank you. B Berry Cobb @berrycobb GNSO Policy Consultant
