RE: [council] FW: For your review - proposed charter new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG

["Paul McGrady" <policy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Marika.  I suppose I should have said “the correct framework to develop 
the process.”  I stick by “windfall”, as ICANN didn’t earn these funds.  In any 
event, I am thankful that you are taking the suggestion back to the DT. 

 

Regards,

Paul

Paul, just to clarify, the charter does not set out the ‘process to spend these 
windfalls’, it outlines the scope for the CCWG that is expected to develop the 
framework for disbursements of funds. Also, to provide a bit more background on 
the process and community deliberations that have lead up to this proposed 
charter:

 

March 2015: GNSO Chair Jonathan Robinson wrote to SO/AC Chairs to take 
temperature on the desire for a drafting team to discuss the development of a 
CCWG

June 2015: ICANN53, in Buenos Aires: SO/AC Panel High Interest Session and 
Community Workshop Session

July - August 2015: Development of Discussion Paper Drafted to take into 
consideration pertinent issues discussed at ICANN53

September 2015: Discussion Paper is published for public comment

December 2015: Discussion Paper Comments Report published along with updated 
Discussion Paper

January - February 2016: Requests for nominations to Drafting Team for CCWG, 
Board Chair nominates Board Liaisons, First Call of Drafting Team/Feb

March – September 2016: Drafting Team work, including review of all the 
materials and input leading up to the DT, distribution of draft charter for 
review and discussion prior to ICANN56, community session during ICANN56, 
review of all comments received during ICANN56 as well as those submitted 
subsequently by email (see comment review tool at  
<https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)> https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw), 

13 September 2016: Submission of proposed charter to ICANN SO/ACs with the 
request to identify any pertinent issues that would prevent SO/AC adoption 

 

Of course, I will take your suggestion for a public comment period back to the 
DT, but I also wanted to remind the Council that the DT has specifically 
requested input on whether there are any pertinent issues that would avoid 
adoption of the charter by SO/ACs to be able to address these prior to formally 
submitting the proposed charter to the ICANN SO/ACs for their consideration. 
The idea of the DT was to obtain this input by the end of September so it would 
be in a position to make any updates to the proposed charter, if needed, which 
would allow for formal submission of the proposed charter in time for 
consideration by the different SO/ACs at ICANN57. For your convenience, I’ve 
attached the proposed charter here again. 

 

Best regards,

 

Marika

All,

 

Just to follow on from my comments yesterday, it is my personal belief (and not 
necessarily the view of the IPC, but not necessarily not the view either) that 
this Charter should be open to a real and robust public comment – not just to 
those with the time and resources to have traveled to Helsinki.  There is no 
rush to disburse these funds (correct?), so sending the message to the public 
that ICANN doesn’t want their opinion on the correct process to spend these 
windfalls, I believe, is an avoidable mistake.

 

Regards,

Paul

Councilors -

 

See message below, sent on behalf of the gTLD Auction Proceeds Charter Drafting 
Team.  Their Draft Charter for a proposed CCWG is attached, and they are 
requesting feedback by 30 September. If time allows, lets plan to add this as a 
discussion point for our next call (29 SEP).

 

Thank you,

 

J.

Sending on behalf of Jonathan Robinson, new gTLD Auction Proceeds Drafting Team 
Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair:

 

Dear SO/AC Chairs,

 

On behalf of the new gTLD Auction Proceeds Drafting Team (DT), we are delighted 
to submit to you and your respective SO/ACs, the proposed charter for a 
Cross-Community Working Group on new gTLD Auction Proceeds. As you may recall, 
representatives of all ICANN SO/ACs, apart from the ccNSO (which decided not to 
take part in the DT effort), participated in the DT deliberations (see  
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_AR-5FAAw&d=DQMFAg&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=7_PQAir-9nJQ2uB2cWiTDDDo5Hfy5HL9rSTe65iXLVM&m=iAY_2l3SjGAHTqDmvf4-BRjt5u-4mMSRKLF4dIbyRyg&s=_1AnbhFDSNAN1ovGptiyqxnN6icRMnadePMqCwXlits&e=>
 https://community.icann.org/x/AR_AAw[community.icann.org] for DT members).

 

This proposed charter is the result of extensive input and deliberations, 
including careful review of input that was received as part of the 
cross-community session at ICANN 56 in Helsinki (see  
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_fgmbAw-29&d=DQMFAg&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=7_PQAir-9nJQ2uB2cWiTDDDo5Hfy5HL9rSTe65iXLVM&m=iAY_2l3SjGAHTqDmvf4-BRjt5u-4mMSRKLF4dIbyRyg&s=n69ktxIEQG7E4ISa1cn1gzCR6cTytVoUIG_OGXY9U3w&e=>
 https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)[community.icann.org] and we believe it 
now represents a careful balance between the different viewpoints and 
perspectives, including from both the DT Members and the ICANN Board liaisons 
to the DT. As such, the DT would like to request you review the proposed 
charter with this careful balance in mind and only flag to the DT any pertinent 
issues that would prevent your respective SO/AC from adopting this charter. We 
would like to request you highlight such pertinent issues by 30 September 2016 
at the latest, including an indication of when you anticipate your respective 
SO/AC to be in a position to consider the charter for adoption following 30 
September, provided that no pertinent issues have been identified by any of the 
ICANN SO/ACs.

 

Of course, should you have any clarifying questions, please do not hesitate to 
respond to this message. The DT looks forward to receiving your feedback.

 

Best wishes,

 

Jonathan Robinson, DT Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair
