Auction proceeds DT documentation and wiki
by David Tait March 21, 2016

March 21, 2016

Dear Drafting Team Further to Marika’s email of 15 March 2016, I am pleased to confirm that the Drafting Team wiki is now online here. Additionally, the background materials which may assist your work are available here. To support Erika and Russ in reviewing the public comments and identifying those items which should be considered in relation to the development of the Charter, I attach an additional document which will facilitate discussion of the comments. Finally, the new gTLD Applicant guidebook contained relevant language which may contribute to your consideration of this issue. The guidebook stated that, “Funds must be used in a manner that supports directly ICANN’s Mission and Core Values and also allows ICANN to maintain its not for profit status. Possible Possible uses of auction funds include formation of a foundation with a clear mission and a transparent way to allocate funds to projects that are of interest to the greater Internet community, such as grants to support new gTLD applications or registry operators from communities in subsequent gTLD rounds, the creation of an ICANN-administered/community-based fund for specific projects for the benefit of the Internet community, the creation of a registry continuity fund for the protection of registrants (ensuring that funds would be in place to support the operation of a gTLD registry until a successor could be found), or establishment of a security fund to exanduse of secure protocols, conduct research, and support standards development organizations in accordance with ICANN's security and stability mission.” The complete text of the guidebook can be accessed here, it is also available through the wiki.

Please circulate: Reminder audio connection for remote participants ICANN55
by Nathalie Peregrine March 4, 2016

March 4, 2016

Dear all, In the event that you would like to join the ICANN55 meetings remotely, we would like to remind you that several options are available to connect via audio. 1. The audio bridge. This is by far the most reliable connection. You need to dial in via telephone and provide the audio passcode orally to the operator. All GNSO open dial in information can be found here: https://community.icann.org/x/YRmAAw 2. Audio in Adobe Connect room: This is streaming only, so all questions/ comments must be made in the chat, or via the telephone. AC rooms are also posted here: https://community.icann.org/x/YRmAAw 3. Audio cast live stream which can be found on the meeting page of the meeting you would like to listen in on, from the main meeting schedule. <https://meetings.icann.org/en/marrakech55/schedule-full> Please let us know if you have many questions. If you do require a telephone dial out, please email gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> specifying the title and time and date of the session concerned. Kind regards Nathalie
