[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Are we trying to reinvent the wheel or Coordinate with other donors: Other Internet Community funding initiatives..

Mon Feb 4 20:31:36 UTC 2019

I am not adverse to an organized presentation, BUT, I am not sure why we would be spending time on state funded programs, as in particular, state sponsored grants are a two pronged approach usually, they allocate funds to a first qualified party, who takes a considerable overhead as they are the "manager", then that entity recruits and sub allocates, monitors, etc. and they also take a considerable overhead to hire staff, manage the project day to day, so a much reduced amount eventually is spent locally.

I also note that the majority of this list is focused on digital/human rights.  I had hoped that the examples we developed earlier would stand the test of rationality as we evolved the work of the CCWG-AP.  As attested in the detailed transcripts of the discussion of the group, which I hope the all who joined mid stream, so to speak, as I did at Meeting 17, reviewed, there have been detailed discussions.  It is important to keep in mind that we have struggled to ensure that we can defend to the broader ICANN community and the ICANN Board that the principles/examples are focused on areas "aligned" with ICANN's mission.

If we are to make time for a second round to inform ourselves and to help us fine-tune our recommendations, I'd prefer that we have an organized approach, a required set of questions for the presenter, and of course, the presenters need to understand that they  need to declare any conflict of interest for themselves if they then intend to apply for the funding from the Auction Proceeds in the future.

So, if there in interest in another round of "interviews" with existing granting organizations, let's consider who, why, and what to maximize the effectiveness of their time, and ours.

Dear Robert

Back , some time ago we have asking and listen to some groups used to give grants to understand their standards of proceedings, best practices and eventual recommendations in order to better understand better alternatives for the model.

    Dear all,

    As one of the newest member of the group, let me ask a question - and
    apologies, if it’s already been discussed..

    The question being, has there been any discussion of existing - internet
    funding initiatives (a quick list below) - their focus area, their
    processes, opportunities for coordination and collaboration , and best
    practices that this ccwg might want to incorporate into our work and
    recommendations?

    The US State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour
    (DRL) annual funding call is , in my opinion, a good example for us to
    review and comment as it has many of the sections, description of
    process, review criteria and - Eligibility requirements that, to a
    certain extent, would also have to be followed by ICANN or spun-off US
    based entity that might be created.

    I welcome others thoughts on this.

    regards,

    Robert
