I strongly agree with Seun. PLEASE let us not forget that 5%, is $7,000,000! And 10% is $14,000,000!!

Overall I think we should consider the cost implications of maintaining a foundation and also whether the foundation will continue to access funds beyond the auction proceeds would be something to consider. Ultimately I agree that a foundation may be one of the ways to get ICANN to legitimately spend the huge money(profit) she is making (as a not-for-profit "tax exempt" organisation).

On question 7, why are we  recommending a trust for this?, sure I agree that it will be helpful to have other entities handle the "end point" applications while ICANN just administer the funds at high level so long as those entities meets the requirements to be set by the ccwg. I think recommending to ICANN to setup a trust in itself could result to more overhead cost, unless there is a reason to believe this kind of funds will be available on a continuous basis in that case a "foundation" may be a good thing to consider.
