<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Please note that the charter states that:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">“These proceeds are to be considered as an exceptional, one-time source of revenue”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">However, you may also be interested in the opinion that Alan (co-chair of the drafting team that developed the charter) shared in an earlier thread: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">“- There *may* be another round or rounds;<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">- There *may* be auctions<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">- Any such auctions *may* have their proceeds designated for uses similar to in the first round.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">All of these would be the result of GNSO PDP(s) and Board action, and are out of scope for us, regardless of whether we think any or all of this would be good (and I am not advocating any of this here). If all of those were to come to be, then the process we are developing *may* be applicable (again, a decision WAY out of our scope). Nothing that we do should REQUIRE that we must start all over again and re-invent this in such a situation.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">I missed the call but I am impressed by the progress that was made. Reading the action points/discussion notes I think our focus now should be on expanding and finalizing Item 5 - Workplan. I suggest we set a deadline for having the workplan in place and also focus on this item on the next call.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="me63835MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have a question on scope meantime. Probably those in the group who may have participated in the formulation of the charter could be of help: Is this exercise confined to the proceeds of the first round auctions or do we need to come up with a mechanism encompassing any future rollout scenarios (currently not known). The Charter just refers to "new gTLDAuction Proceeds".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
