Jonathan,

 

This just crossed my desk.  I compliment you on the initiative to create a
CCWG to develop inputs on the use of the auction funds.

 

The Board has explicitly committed to a full consultation process.  Input
from the CCWG will be quite welcome, but so will inputs from other sources.
The Board has not chartered any group to make decisions about the auction
funds, and we plan to proceed very deliberately.

 

We will proceed very shortly with a call for inputs on general ideas and
concepts, not specific projects.  We make a point of reaching outside the
usual ICANN SO and AC structures to include the rest of the Internet
community.  We will, of course, be glad to mention the CCWG effort as one of
the ways for people to be involved.

 

I hope this is consistent with your understanding and expectations.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

Dear All,

 

A Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG) to develop a plan for the use of new
gTLD auction proceeds

 

To follow up on my earlier communication of 2 March 2015 in relation to the
possible creation of a Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG) to develop a
plan for the use of new gTLD auction proceeds, I wanted to inform you that
the GNSO Council discussed this topic further during its meeting of 19 March
2015. The Council reviewed the feedback received from all the GNSO
Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies as well as other Supporting
Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) (see
<http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-recs-responses-19
mar15-en.pdf>
http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-recs-responses-19m
ar15-en.pdf). On the basis of that review, the GNSO Council decided to move
forward with the creation of a CCWG by, as a first step, forming a drafting
team to develop a proposed charter for such a CCWG, which could then be
considered by all SO/ACs interested in participating.  

As such, I would like to invite your SO/AC to designate one or two members
to this drafting team effort. Please note that even if your SO/AC is not
intending at this stage to become a chartering organization of the CCWG, if
there are members interested to assist in this effort, they are more than
welcome. In preparing the charter to address this issue, the Drafting Team
is expected to develop the framework under which the future CWG will
operate. This includes elements such as the mission, purpose, deliverables,
as well as the guidelines for formation, staffing, organization, and overall
rules of engagement. Following the completion of the work of the drafting
team, the proposed charter for the CCWG will be submitted to all interested
SO/ACs for their consideration.

Please provide the GNSO Secretariat (
<mailto:gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) as
soon as possible of with the names of those that are interested to join this
drafting team. We intend to kick off the efforts of the drafting team in the
week commencing 4th May 2015. 

Sincerely,

 

 

Jonathan Robinson

Chair, GNSO Council
