[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Extension of Public Comment Deadline and Next CCWG Meeting

[Erika Mann]

Dear Daniel - 

I hope that we will receive more comments during the extended public comment period.

We certainly will review the incoming comments and will judge them against our goals and obligations, as we have defined them in our initial report. Personally I believe that new ideas will not find the support from the broader AC/SO community but this is something we should discuss after the comment period will close. 

Let us wait until we have received more comments - hopefully - and until we all had a chance to review these comments. 

Warmest regards,
Erika

As it happens, this particular idea has some issues attached to it that needs to be re-discussed (it's in the example list, last one).

People sending their support will have to redo it when the framework for accepting projects is up and running.

If that is the case, then I am firmly opposed to this development. We worked 2 years on the mechanisms, with a clear open mind about what could be funded, and now is not the time to reopen our deliverable.
