All,
I'd like to amend the "Motion for
JAS WG charter extension" as follows:
Remove "Resolved 1. c)
Establishing a framework (for consideration etcetera,) including a possible
recommendation for a separate ICANN originated foundation, for managing any
auction income, beyond costs. for future rounds and ongoing
assistance;"
Rationale:
First, I'm convinced
the community and ICANN have to be prepared how to manage
any potential new gTLD auction profit.
As usual in case
profit is available one can expect many interested community groups
expressing their needs to share that profit where new applicants are one
group of it. In addition parts of the overall ICANN program could also
profit from that fund (e.g. outreach program, DNS
security etc.).
So my reservations to
this topic being covered by the JAS
group only are:
- it is a too large
area for the JAS and would go far beyond their originally intended
scope
- there are lots of
more urgent tasks for this WG as laid down in the new draft charter.
Handling the potential auction profit is of lower priority on the
timescale .
- as per definition
the JAS view is applicant oriented that would cause an
imbalance
As I pointed out in
former e-mails the JAS could express the new applicants' general interest in
taking part in the distribution of the potential auction
profit.
I suggest to
initiate discussion on council level how to cover this topic separately and
appropriately.
I'm
in agreement with all other items in the charter and
would be happy if the amendment could
be accepted as friendly .
