3. MOTION – Adoption of the Charter for a Cross-Community Working Group on new 
gTLD Auction Proceeds

Made by: James Bladel

Seconded by: Wolf-Ulrich Knoben

 

WHEREAS:

1.                          Following a number of sessions on the topic of new 
gTLD Auction proceeds during the ICANN53 in Buenos Aires (see 
https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-soac-high-interest and 
https://buenosaires53.icann.org/en/schedule/wed-cwg-new-gtld-auction), a 
discussion paper was published in September 2015 to solicit further community 
input on this topic as well as the proposal to proceed with a CCWG on this 
topic.

2.                          As the feedback received on the discussion paper 
confirmed the support for moving forward with a CCWG, James Bladel, GNSO Chair, 
reached out to all the ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees 
to ask for volunteers to participate in a drafting team to develop a charter 
for a CCWG on this topic. All ICANN SO/ACs, apart from the ccNSO, responded to 
this request and put forward volunteers to participate in the drafting team.

3.                          The GNSO Council appointed Jonathan Robinson to 
chair the Drafting Team (‘DT’), which commenced its deliberations on Tuesday 23 
February 2016.

4.                          The DT published a draft charter for community 
discussion in advance of ICANN 56 which was discussed during the 
cross-community session held at ICANN56. Following ICANN56, the DT reviewed all 
the input received and updated the proposed charter accordingly. On 13 
September, this proposed charter was shared with all ICANN SO/ACs with the 
request to review it and identify any pertinent issues that would prevent 
adoption of the charter, if any.

5.                          Subsequently, a webinar was held on 13 October to 
allow for some additional time and information to undertake this review (see 
https://community.icann.org/x/gh_4Aw).

6.                          As no pertinent issues were raised, the DT 
submitted the proposed CCWG charter (see https://community.icann.org/x/mRuOAw) 
for consideration to all ICANN SO/ACs on 17 October 2016.

 

RESOLVED:

1.                          The GNSO Council approves the Charter.

2.                          Each GNSO Stakeholder Group will identify one 
member for the CCWG by 5 December 2016 taking into account the charter 
requirement that best efforts should be made to ensure that members:

a.      Have sufficient and appropriate motivation (and ideally expertise) to 
participate in the substance of the work of the CCWG. Appropriate experience 
could, for example, include experience with allocation and final disbursement 
of funds;

b.      Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CCWG on an 
on-going and long-term basis;

c.       Solicit and communicate (where appropriate) the views and concerns of 
individuals in the organization that appoints them;

d.      Commit to abide to the charter when participating in the CCWG;

e.      Understand the needs of the Internet communities that ICANN serves 
(standards, domains and numbers);

f.        Understand the broader ecosystem (the Internet Community) in which 
ICANN operates and the needs of those working on other aspects of the Internet 
industry, including those not yet connected.

 

3.                          The GNSO Council expects to select a GNSO Co-Chair 
for the CCWG from the slate of GNSO appointed members to the CCWG during its 
meeting on 15 December 2016.

 

4.                          Furthermore, in addition to a Statement of 
Interest, all members and participants will be required to provide a 
declaration on intention to apply for (or in any way support the application 
for) new gTLD Auction Proceeds, either as an individual or through the entity 
you are representing or employed by or are otherwise funded by or affiliated 
with or support/endorse. It will be mandatory to report any changes in relation 
to these intentions throughout the CCWG life-cycle.

 

5.                          The GNSO will collaborate with the other SOs and 
ACs to issue a call for participants and observers to join the CCWG, each in 
accordance with its own rules.

6.                          The GNSO Council thanks the members of the Auction 
Proceeds Drafting Team for their contributions developing this Draft Charter.
