<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">All,</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">A couple of thoughts on this topic.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">On the subject of whether or not ICANN should have a 12 month operating expense reserve in place.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Agreed that it seems to be common practice in the not for profit sector.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Whether or not it should be the case for ICANN is an interesting question, but agreed, not one for this CWG.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">In any event, Xavier has clarified that the current policy is that the level of operating reserve should be 12 months.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">My understanding of the question for this group is not whether or not we would sanction the (auction fund) money being used to top up the reserves.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">But rather, whether or not we would like to see rules in place that sanction ICANN (the organisation) applying for auction funds.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">In evaluating that question of ICANN the organisation as a prospective applicant, a use or test case for that consideration is ICANN applying (under
the same rules as anyone else) for auction funds to top up the ICANN reserve funds.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">My personal view is that ICANN should be demonstrating a commitment to fulfilling its current policy (to have in place a 12 month reserve) by budgeting
an operating surplus to build that reserve.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">In addition (independently of this CWG), ICANN should review its current policy on reserve funds.
</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">If these two criteria were met, it would make me personaly much more sympathetic to potentially topping up reserve funds (to some extent) with auction
funds.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">At the risk of being repetitive, it seems to me that the question for this CWG remains:</span><u></u><u></u></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in">
<span style="color:#1f497d">Whether or not ICANN the Organisation should be permitted to apply for funds?<br>
and</span><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in">
<span style="color:#1f497d">If so, what constraints should be place on this (use of funds, quantum etc)?</span><u></u><u></u></li></ul>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">To be clear, I don't think anyone on the call suggested we build up the reserve to a 12 or 24 month level of current budget. Xavier said that 1 year was a typical norm for non-profits,
but in my opinion, there is no need for that, as in the case of emergency, costs could be ramped down quickly.
<br>
<br>
I vaguely recall that the level that we were targeting (before the drain from the CCWG-Acct expenses) was something like $80m. So even if we contributed enough to get back to that level, it would be perhaps $40m.
<br>
<br>
But the issue in my mind is not how much, but if.<br>

I have been very astonished to hear the proposal to use the Auction Money in filling up the reserve account of ICANN.<br>
Filling up for 12 month reserve or 24 month reserve, if we have to take 24 month, there will not be much left to disburse to other projects.<br>
<br>
I thought that the call from Xavier has been to explain specially the Investment of the fund at this moment, for which I can only congratulate.<br>
A 1% return on a super save investment is not bad, and it should be made like this in the future.<br>
<br>
I would absolutely be against a filling up of the reserve fund from the auction proceeds, at least as a decision from this group.<br>
