Thanks Sam, that helps.

Two questions:

1. The wording in the AG included: "Funds must be used in a manner that supports directly ICANN’s Mission and Core Values ..... to allocate funds to projects that are of interest to the greater Internet community...."

These two phrases strike me as being potentially contradictory in that there are many projects of interest to the greater Internet community (and ones of great merit!) which do not diretly map onto ICANN's mission.

2. Much of your document talks about ICANN's responsibility with respect to the decisions made. To what extent, if any, does that change if ICANN does not disburse the funds but instead creates a foundation and endows that foundation with the funds?
