Dear All, Please find attached for your review and consideration the updated new gTLD Auction Proceeds Discussion Paper which has been updated to reflect the contributions received in response to the public comment forum. As outlined in the document, as there was general support for proceeding with a CCWG, the proposed next step is to go back to each of the ICANN SO/ACs to confirm their interest to participate in this effort and request up to 2 volunteers for the drafting team to develop a charter which is to be submitted for review and adoption to all the potential chartering organizations. You can find the public comment review tool which outlines the input received and how it has or is expected to be addressed in Annex B of the report. For those interested, I can also provide a redline version, but as some sections moved around it may appear as more changes were made than in reality happened. Best regards, Marika
