<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Century Gothic"">In my opinion this is a great News. As someone working with foundations, not for profit organizations and the way money can be expending around the world and the difficulties to correctly make
funds to arrive at the correct place and be correctly used, I believe this help will be of good value for our group and for the implementation phase.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear All,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As noted in the Charter development phase, the work of the CCWG and the ultimate recommendations will carry important legal and financial implications for ICANN as an organization and also upon the fiduciary
duties and responsibilities of the ICANN Board Members and ICANN Officers. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">There are also practical aspects to the CCWG’s anticipated recommendations, such as understanding basic tenets and practices of the grant-making and philanthropic giving space. In preparing to support this
CCWG, ICANN recognized that this is not a core skill or knowledge base within the ICANN organization Therefore, to prepare ICANN to understand this space, ICANN has contracted with a resource with a lot of experience on the grant-making/philanthropic giving
side. This resource will be available, as necessary, to provide the ICANN organization and Board answers, guidance, and research on these topics.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-berg-cfp%C2%AE-24b9203">Sarah Berg</a></span></u><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> is the Principal of Ponsonby Partners in Washington D.C.- a consultancy firm providing
philanthropic advisement and strategic planning to high net-worth clients, nonprofits, and foundations. A Certified Financial Planner (CFP) from Georgetown, Sarah spent 8 years working for Keel Point LLC wealth management advisory company for individuals and
families. In her role as Wealth Advisor and subsequently Senior Wealth Advisor, Sarah was responsible for strategy and execution of financial decisions for multinational, multigenerational ultra-high net worth families ($100m+). This included managing direct
investments, international businesses, private equity, traditional investing, commercial and residential real estate, tax and estate structuring, risk management, impact investing, philanthropic administration, and family governance.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Sarah has had experience creating multiple non-profits both domestically in the U.S. and internationally. She is well versed in grant processes and California rules and regulations in regards to non-profits
and has experience serving on not-for-profit Boards. Her focus at Keel Point allowed her to represent clients and work with stakeholders primarily in Asia, Africa, and Europe- so she is used to working across varying cultures and timezones.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">While Sarah has been contracted to provide the ICANN organization with support, we wanted to update the CCWG and offer that she be added to the CCWG’s list of Experts as a potential additional expertise resource.
The CCWG can explore if it would like to avail of her expertise on specific topics. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">ICANN’s contracting with Sarah to provide inputs internally is not intended to replace any other expertise or resources that the CCWG has identified, but as an additional potential avenue for input alongside
others. To facilitate the CCWG’s consideration of reference of questions to/inputs from Sarah, we will request that Sarah fills out the expertise survey so that the CCWG can have more insight on where her expertise lies.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
