Kind regards, Terri Agnew ------------------------------- Adobe Connect chat transcript for Wednesday, 27 July 2016 Terri Agnew:Welcome to the New gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Charter Drafting Team held on Wednesday, 27 July 2016 at 12:00 UTC Erika Mann:Good afternoon! David Tait:Good afternoon Erika Erika Mann:I'm in but can't speak, still blocked Erika Mann:Good afternoon David! Erika Mann:I know Terry but the icon is not showing the activation plug in Erika Mann:I will rejoin Jonathan Robinson:Hi. I have a clash and am hoping Alan can lead for the first 30 minutes Erika Mann:I'm still working, can't see it on my end that it's working Erika Mann:Thank you! Jonathan Robinson:I am not on audio nw since I have another live call running Terri Agnew:@Jonathan, thank you for this information. Alan is leading Jonathan Robinson:Thank you Terri Agnew:Sync is enabled and all can scroll themselves Erika Mann:Alan - are you now talking about point 1.? David Tait:Point 7 Tony Harris 2:Erika made a good point Samantha Eisner:There is the possibility of using SOME of the funds towards ICANN's operations, but using ALL of the funds towards ICANN's operations would actually risk ICANN's tax exempt status Erika Mann:exactly Sam Erika Mann:Good point Russ Erika Mann:Alan - I like this Erika Mann:Alan - I was thinking along the same line Erika Mann:Makes absolute sense David Tait:Yes Alan got it RussMundy-SSAC:Alan - I also support your wording. It does seem useful to have a pointer to the recommendations of relationship to mission Erika Mann:Exactly Tony Harris 2:Agree with Alan Jonathan Robinson:I am still tied up in my company meeting. Will commit to joining as soon as possible and / or catch-up on audio. Erika Mann:As thought, we have the same viewpoint Erika Mann:'must be aligned' or 'must be supported' by the mission Samantha Eisner:@Alan, I'd recommend language that the CCWG is required to deliberate and make recomnedations on how the use is aligned to the mission, as opposed to "decide" Tony Harris 2:Agree with Sylvia Erika Mann:Good point Sam RussMundy-SSAC:I agree with Sam's point Erika Mann:Sylvia is not having access to the Adobe screen, @Alan maybe you could read it to her Erika Mann:Supportive RussMundy-SSAC:We might also want to say that whatever distribution mechanism also examine the alignment for each distribution considered Erika Mann:Agree Erika Mann:Agree Erika Mann:Alan - agree, understood David Tait:If you give me a couple of moments Erika Mann:@Alan - Lauren is saying the following "focus on the diversity of process rather than diversity of uses of proceeds " Lauren Allison:re: the Board's comments Lauren Allison:not to Sylvia's point Terri Agnew:Welcome Asha Hemrajani David Tait:Thats correct Asha Hemrajani:Thank you Terri. I am trying to dial in now Terri Agnew:trying to find line that is causing slight echo Jonathan Robinson:Joining audio now. Suggest Alan continues to 90 min point. Erika Mann:@Russ - good point, such a separation between pure individual and individual/org might make sense Asha Hemrajani:Sylvia, please could you speak up a bit more please Erika Mann:Asha - she can't, she's on a mobile, she can't see Adobe neither Asha Hemrajani:ah ok RussMundy-SSAC:@Erika: Thanks & it's very possible that a person's status can change over time also Asha Hemrajani:Apologies for not being able to join earlier as I am at an IGF meeting today Erika Mann:@Russ, yes, I agree. Transparency should solve this problem largely RussMundy-SSAC:@Erika: yes, transparency is critial and everyone needs to understand that 'individual changes in status' must be identified Asha Hemrajani:I keep getting kicked out of Adobe unfortunately Asha Hemrajani:@jonathan I agree this is different from how we have done things in the past, simply because we are talking about a large sum of $$, no precedence to this Terri Agnew:@Asha, regarding adobe connect, I am sending you an email to check your plug in's. Also, as a reminder, Adobe prefers firefox Tony Harris 2:Agree with Jonathan Jonathan Robinson:@Asha. I am OK with us working on fleshing out the mandatory disclosure in the DT. Jonathan Robinson:But, it will be good to get the message to the board that this is the route we are going down. Erika Mann:Exactly Jonathan, Alan Lauren Allison:Asha would like to raise her hand Lauren Allison:(she's out of the room again :-( ) Alan Greenberg:Noted RussMundy-SSAC:@jonathan & Alan: Although my question may have sounded like a I disagreed with your approach but, in fact, I fully agree with the approach you describe Jonathan Robinson:@Russ. Thank you. No disagreement heard, only a clarifying question. Jonathan Robinson:@Asha. We simply note the disclosure Jonathan Robinson:in the SOI Asha Hemrajani:@jonathan, understood. And I agree with Alan's point that taking action would be a big departure from past behaviour, but this is a very different situation because we are talking about a large sum of $$ Jonathan Robinson:@Russ. On GNSO Council, we always call for any updates to SOIs at the start of every meeting. Asha Hemrajani:I am not suggesting a complete ban if the disclosure raises alarm bells ie no exclusionary statements. I am asking if there would be any prescribed next steps Jonathan Robinson:@Alan. Recall that we agreed to book 120 min slots but attempt to run the meeting in 90 minutes RussMundy-SSAC:@Asha: my general concern relate to whwat the prescribed steps might be. Jonathan Robinson:It will be unprecedented and very difficult to specify next steps. This will create a whole policy area in and of itself. RussMundy-SSAC:@Asha: thanks - that really clarifies Jonathan Robinson:@Asha. If you have the idea, it will be helpful to have your proposal. The current proposal is do nothing but record it. What is the alternative? Asha Hemrajani:@jonathan perhaps the answer could be that the CCWG decides what the next steps would be? Erika Mann:Alan - agree, we have an understanding. Let's move on. Erika Mann:I'm fine with the timing Asha Hemrajani:ie the CCWG themselves decide what themselves what to do with those declarations which raise alarms bells. Asha Hemrajani:I am fine with bi-weekly too Asha Hemrajani:this time works well for me - or an hour later would be good too Erika Mann:@Jonathan - the doodle did not work last time, Terry is checking why Erika Mann:Thanks!

Notes and Outcomes from DT Auction proceeds meeting Wednesday, 27July at 12.00 UTC
by David Tait July 27, 2016

July 27, 2016

Dear All The following are the notes and outcomes from today’s meeting and relate to the items contained within the latest draft of the post-Helsinki meeting comment review tool: Comment (7) – The DT determined that language should not be included which prohibits the use of funds for activities within ICANN itself. Proposed language "CCWG should be assigned responsibility for determining to what extent and how ICANN itself could be the beneficiary of some of the auction funds" Comment (8) - The DT determined that wording needs to be clarified. Does this mean not funding projects which fund competition in the market place then this is valid? However, helping markets in developing states may have been a valid project. [ACTION: Staff to try and clarify from Helsinki meeting] Comment (9) - The DT determined that direction should be given to CCWG to be clear about how their proposal furthers ICANN's mission. "CWG is required to deliberate and make recommendations on how the use is aligned to the mission." Comment (10) - No further comments were made. Comment (11) - The DT determined agreed that term to be used is 'not endanger' rather than 'support'. Comment (12) - The DT determined that the utilisation of funds should be related to ICANN's mission and whatever distribution mechanism is established should also examine the relationship of each distribution to the mission statement. Comment (13) - [ACTION: SC to circulate language which had been removed specifically prior to Helsinki meeting] Comment (14) – DT agreed with comment received. Comment (15) - The DT determined that Draft Charter should include language which will require the CCWG to develop an appropriate governance framework and mechanisms for measuring success. Comment (16) - (21)- The DT determined that CCWG stage will require sufficient transparency but this is separate from the dispersal phase where there can be no conflicts of interest. The DT proposed the following model: Mandatory and enhanced statements of interest (SoI) (with particular disclosures on any intended future involvement) which is unique to the CCWG. Next step to define the content of this mandatory SoI. [ACTION: (i) DT finalise language and then board members seek input from board group, (ii) DT to determine content of mandatory SoI and criteria for inclusion/exclusion from CCWG and (iii)Deal with mission and conflict of interest issues as a whole rather than separately.] Confirmation of time / date of next meeting [ACTION: Doodle poll to be released for next meeting in 2 weeks.] I enclose an updated copy of the of the Comment review tool incorporating the DT’s considerations.

Notes and Outcomes from Thursday 14 July
by David Tait July 14, 2016

July 14, 2016

Dear All Please find below the Notes and Outcomes from today’s Auction Proceeds Drafting Team meeting: 1. Roll call & Welcome Due to low attendance decision taken to focus on process and practicalities rather than substantive issues. [Note, a number of DT members joined the call after the roll call & welcome which meant that there was sufficient attendance to also address substantive issues] 2. Review feedback received during Helsinki session & discuss how to address feedback in draft charter Notes and outcomes: Generally positive feedback received on the session in Helsinki. Board met to discuss this topic prior to the start of the Helsinki meeting but has yet to share views with the DT in writing. Action items: Board liaisons to send written feedback to DT mailing list for circulation and discussion. These comments to then be incorporated into revised comment review tool. Comments will be identified as either Helsinki meeting comments or subsequent emails, DT member or Board comments. Board liaisons to provide feedback on whether Board is planning / willing to commit to a process for considering the recommendations similar to what was done for CCWG-Accountability. Consideration of public comments from Helsinki Meeting: (1) DT View- This is an issue for the CCWG Action- Pass to CCWG to consider. (2) to (5) DT View- (i) DT to specify that lobbying be prohibited to the extent that it protects the tax exempt status of ICANN. (ii) Such a prohibition should be applied generically so as to be applied fairly across the world so as not to be US-centric. Action- DT to include this guidance to CCWG. (6) DT View - DT will give clear consideration to this point. Action - DT to consider in revision process. Action items: Review paused to be continued offline and picked-up again at next meeting. DT members encouraged to review comments and share feedback on the mailing list. 3. Identify outstanding items that need further DT consideration (e.g. statement of interest, conflict of interest) Notes: Items for further consideration- (1) Position on adherence to the ICANN mission statement. (2) How should conflicts of interest be dealt with including mandatory Statements of Interest? At what stage and under what conditions will participation be governed by conflict of interest provisions. 4. Discuss timeline for finalizing charter Notes: See timeline circulated containing two options: 1) if no issues are identified by ICANN SO/ACs that would prevent adoption of the charter this could potentially allow for the creation of the CCWG prior to ICANN57 with a first meeting taking place at ICANN57, 2) if issues are identified by ICANN SO/ACs that would prevent adoption of the charter, additional time may be needed to address these issues which would allow possible consideration of the charter for adoption at ICANN57. DT may try to aim for option 1, but timetable will need to be monitored to determine if additional time should be required. 5. Confirm next meeting & next steps Notes: In order to avoid conflicts with other standing meetings, it has been proposed to adjust the meeting day from Thursday to Wednesday. Meeting length of 90 minutes but with 2 hours blocked out should it be required. Any issues regarding difficulties of times are requested to be raised. Action item: Doodle poll to be circulated by staff to determine time of the next meeting. David A.
