Dear new gTLD WG members, To the extent that today’s policy discussion on resolution of string contention sets involved policy issues around what ICANN will do with Auction Proceeds from ICANN-supervised auctions, please see the attached Proposed Final Report of the CCWG- Auction Proceeds which emphasizes the Objectives and purposes for which such funds can be used. Public comment is due February 14 so please do comment. Because Auction Proceeds must be used within the scope of ICANN’s mission as a matter of corporate governance, I disagree with the comment that proceeds from the next round can be using to buy knitting needles.
