The Board is, indeed, interested in developing a shared understanding across the community about how the global public interest is identified.  If Maureen would accept a friendly amendment,  because ICANN’s Commitments and Core Values speak to the manner in which ICANN carries out its Mission,  something like this would be more precise:


  1.  The purpose of a grant/application must be in service of ICANN’s Mission and consistent with the Commitments and Core Values set out in the Bylaws, including those relating to the global public interest.

Hi all

I know that it is late in the day with regards to including anything new into our report, but in light of the Board's renewed interest in the global public interest , I wondered if it might be appropriate to add them to the #1 guideline for applications for auction proceed funding on p37 of the report.

Therefore, the CCWG considers the following to be important guidelines for the review and selection of applications seeking auction proceeds funding:
 1. The purpose of a grant/application must be in service of ICANN's mission, core principles and global public interest commitments.

Dear all,

Please find below the proposed agenda for the CCWG meeting tomorrow Wednesday 18 September at 14.00 UTC.

Attached you will find in redline and clean versions, the latest update to the draft Final Report.

Proposed Agenda
1. Welcome/Agenda Review/SOI Updates
2. Updated Draft Final Report – Outstanding Items and Clarifications

  *   Clarification about the use of language in relation to ICANN’s mission – “must be consistent with ICANN’s mission”

     *   Page 12 – quote from the Board, input from early stage: “The Board is responsible for making sure that ICANN’s mission is observed at all points throughout the process, and any disbursement mechanism must have processes and procedures to ensure that auction proceeds are used in a manner that contributes directly to ICANN’s mission.” (https://community.icann.org/x/V7XRAw)

  *   Page 17 – response to charter question 3 from the perspective of mechanism C
  *   Page 19 – response to charter question 5 from the perspective of mechanism C
  *   Page 22 – clarification of text regarding separation of auction funds and ICANN’s operational budget
  *   Page 22 – response to charter question 10 from the perspective of mechanism C
  *   Page 30 – question regarding interest/return on investment for auction funds

     *   Of the $233.5 million in auction proceeds, $133 million are proceeds from the .WEB auction. The resolution of the .WEB contention set is being challenged through ICANN’s accountability mechanisms. $36 million was allocated to the ICANN reserve fund. As of 30 June 2019, the net return on investment was $10.5m. Therefore, the total auction proceeds as of 30 June 2019 are $208 million, of which $133 million are proceeds from the .WEB auction.
     *   Xavier will explain further the difference between interest and return on investment.
