Dear All, 

Please find below for your review the proposed agenda for tomorrow’s new gTLD Auction Proceeds meeting. Note that you will find attached a first draft of the charter based on the deliberations and input received to date. Do note that some of the elements that are still under discussion such as the principles based on the public comments received as well as further guidance on legal and fiduciary constraints have not been included yet, but hopefully you will find this a useful starting point.

Best regards,

Marika
