Somehow this got lost and never went to the ALAC. We will clearly not
meet the deadline, but I have said we would reply as soon as
possible.<br><br>
A bit of background. As the draft Charter says, the work of the CCWG will
not be to allocate funds, but to develop a process for doing this. A lot
of work has gone into the draft charter, and I believe that it is close
to ready. There are many constraints on what the funds can be used for
based on the ICANN Bylaws, and given the amount of money (currently
$235,000,000 if the .web auction stands) conflict of interest is a very
serious matter.<br><br>
Please get any comments to me by the end of Monday at the very
latest.<br><br>
Of crucial importance are matters of substance which would stop the ALAC
from ratifying the charter. If you find typos and such, please let me
know but that is not the focus. <br><br>

proposed charter new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG<br>

<br>
Sending on behalf of Jonathan Robinson, new gTLD Auction Proceeds
Drafting Team Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair:<br>
<br>
Dear SO/AC Chairs,<br>
<br>
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
<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/AR_AAw">
https://community.icann.org/x/AR_AAw</a> for DT members).<br>
<br>
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
<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)">
https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw)</a> 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 <b><u>by 30 September 2016 at the latest</u></b>,
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
Jonathan Robinson, DT Chair & Alan Greenberg, DT Vice-Chair<br><br>
