Comments and new draft of charter
by Sylvia Cadena Aug. 3, 2016

Aug. 3, 2016

Hi everyone, I am concerned about how much progress we can do if we wait until the upcoming call to complete the review of the comments and have another go at the charter to see what can/cannot be included there and discuss the wording. I would like to propose that we all complete our reviews of the comments on the mailing list by 4 August and request ICANN staff can make suggestions about where to include them in the charter or not by 8 August. That way we all will have at least a day to read both files (comments and draft charter) before the conference call on 10 August. If we don’t make progress on the mailing list, I don’t see how we will be able to have it all finalized to share with ICANN SO/AC the week of 15 August as per the timeline attached. Or will this be postponed? Looking forward to your thought about this.

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.
