I have missed several meetings, so perhaps I am 
misunderstanding, but I have some real 
difficulties with the Objectives as presented.

What we have is:

The overall objective of the allocation of new 
gTLD Auction Proceeds is to benefit the 
development, distribution and evolution of the 
Internet's unique identifier systems. Within this 
overall objective, priority should be given to support activities that:
    * Benefit capacity building and underserved populations
    * Benefit structures or projects that 
directly support the Internet's unique identifier systems
    * Benefit the Open Internet
I think the bullet points are fine, but I have a 
hard time justifying why the first and third ones 
even fit under "benefit the development, 
distribution and evolution of the Internet's unique identifier systems".

I would far prefer if the bullets were examples 
of objectives and we use words from the mission to constrain them.

I do understand that if we are not careful we 
could endanger our tax status, and ensuring that 
this does not happen is important. But I think we 
also have a moral obligation ensure that subject 
to not harming ICANN, we use the funds to have 
the greatest possible impact. By having the 
mission of ICANN as a constrain and not the 
objective, we have a chance of doing that.

I am glad to see that in this version, we have 
replaced reference to the DNS with the wider 
reference to unique identifiers which includes 
the addressing community. And since we are wholly 
dependent on the protocol community for much of 
what we do, and they are one on of the IANA 
customers, they should be included as well.  It 
is the entire ecosystem within which ICANN 
functions that we should be striving to target, 
and not some narrow subset that ICANN does in its "day job".
