The Draft Charter circulated earlier this month received no substantive
comments which required changes to the draft document and nor did the
associated Webinar. Accordingly, the Charter has been forwarded to the
AC/SOs for approval.<br><br>
I have drafted the following Motion (liberally borrowing from a
comparable GNSO motion). This will be on the agenda for discussion and
approval during the Hyderabad meeting.<br><br>
Note that the period for comments on the charter is over, so it is really
too late to make changes to the charter itself. Comments on the motion
are appreciated.<br><br>
Note that for the CCWG-Stewardship, the ALAC chose not to have a
co-chair, and for the CCWG-Accountability, we chose to have one of our
five Members be a Co-Chair. In my mind, that latter decision gave the
CCWG an excellent Co-Chair, but deprived the ALAC of one of its five
voices in substantive discussion. Accordingly, I am suggesting that this
time we identify a Co-Chair as part of our approval process. It would
need to be someone with strong ICANN experience, strong chairing skills,
preferably someone with subject-matter knowledge, and someone who is
willing to NOT participate in the substantive discussion to be held in
the CCWG. And of urse willing to put substantive time into the
process.<br><br>

DRAFT ALAC Motion - Adoption of the Charter for a Cross-Community Working
Group on new gTLD Auction Proceeds<br><br>
Whereas,<br><br>
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
<<a href="http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions/proceeds/discussion-paper-07sep15-en.pdf" eudora="autourl">
http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/auctions/proceeds/discussion-paper-07sep15-en.pdf</a>
> 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.<br><br>
2. As the feedback received on the discussion paper confirmed the
support for moving forward with a CCWG, the 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.<br><br>
3. The GNSO Council appointed Jonathan Robinson to chair the
Drafting Team ('DT'), which commenced its deliberations on Tuesday 23
February 2016. Alan Greenberg one of the ALAC volunteers agreed to act as
Vice-Chair.<br><br>
4. The DT published a draft charter for community discussion in
advance of ICANN 56 which was discussed during the cross-community
session<<a href="http://sched.co/7NE0" eudora="autourl">
http://sched.co/7NE0</a>> held at ICANN56. Following ICANN56, the DT
reviewed all the input
received<<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw" eudora="autourl">
https://community.icann.org/x/fgmbAw</a>> and updated the proposed
charter accordingly. On 13 September 2016, this proposed
charter<<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/mRuOAw" eudora="autourl">
https://community.icann.org/x/mRuOAw</a>> 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.<br><br>
5. Subsequently, a webinar was held on 13 October 2016 to allow for
some additional time and information to undertake this review (see
https://community.icann.org/x/gh_4Aw).<br><br>
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<br><br>
Resolved,<br><br>
1. The ALAC approves the
Charter<<a href="https://community.icann.org/x/mRuOAw" eudora="autourl">
https://community.icann.org/x/mRuOAw</a>>. <br><br>
2. The ALAC appoints [Name] as the ALAC Appointed Co-Chair to <br><br>
3. Each RALO will appoint one member for the CCWG by taking into account
the charter requirement that best efforts should be made to ensure that
members:<br><br>
<dl>
<dd>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;<br><br>
<dd>b) Commit to actively participate in the activities
of the CCWG on an on-going and long-term basis;<br><br>
<dd>c) Solicit and communicate (where appropriate) the
views and concerns of individuals in the RALO that appoints
them;<br><br>
<dd>d) Commit to abide to the charter when
participating in the CCWG;<br><br>
<dd>e) Understand the needs of the Internet communities
that ICANN serves (standards, domains and numbers);<br><br>
<dd>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.
<dd>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 otr 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.<br><br>
</dl>4. The ALAC 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.<br><br>
