Hi Steve, Please find one of my ( two) comments on proposed changes to auctions. Unfortunately I have no access to a laptop or word ! Re recommendation xx Rationale 2 The non exhaustive list of Factors may include , but are not limited to :

If an applicant applies for 5 or more strings that are within contention sets and private auctions for more than fifty percent ( 50%) ....... This may be a factor considered by ICANN

Can’t live with Rationale Half of five is 2 .5 . Use a whole number ! Applicant need to prove its use of funds in its contention sets . This will be required by the Financial Evaluators for a re evaluation anyway ! Proposed change of text : If an applicant applies for 5 or more strings that are within contention sets and participated in 3 private auctions for which the applicant is the losing bidder and receives proceeds from the successful bidder it MUST send to the evaluators a detailed reconciliation statement of its auction fund receipts and expenditure immediately on completion of its final contention set resolution .

In addition this may be considered a factor by the evaluators & ICANN in determining non good faith intent for all of its applications and in doing so might stop all its applications continuing to delegation.

Thanks

Phil Buckingham
