[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] For your review - CCWG AP Objective(s) Survey

As an introduction to the survey, in addition to reminding the words of 
the mission statement of the by-laws, I would also remind people of the 
core values and commitments, that is, Section 1.2.

These defines more largely the scope of what ICANN should do to perform 
its mission, and disbursing the fund for the good of the Internet.

In a way, the mission has allowed the allocation of new gTLDs through 
auctions, so it should allow the disbursement of funds in a way that 
doesn't interfere with ICANN's ordinary activities (i.e. the mission 
direct implementation) or provide perverse incentives to gTLD applicants 
(which could derail the mission).

As Wendy pointer during the Joburg meeting, there is grounds to 
distinguish
these funds and their constraints from the overall activities: while
both are bound globally by the corporate mission, the work of the CCWG
doesn't change ICANN's policy development process and constraints on
ordinary activity, and the auction funds' disbursement is linked to the
nature of their collection, as a byproduct of the new gTLD allocation
decision.

Maybe a few words on what we mean by "consistent with the mission" in 
this survey would make sense in the intro, using the above reasoning 
involving the mission but also the commitments to perform the mission.
