<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So glad you point this out, Alan. As I mentioned before, I really think that when the text of the objective was changed from what was originally shared on the survey, the change is really quite
detrimental to what the fund will be able to achieve. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The survey prioritize an objective to “benefit the development, distribution and evolution of the Internet” which can have qualifiers under the bullet points will provide additional information
for applicants to prepare their applications. In most cases, when a fund opens a call, applicants have to explain how their project fit into the objectives of the program. Most times, applicants are required to be aligned with some (not all) of the descriptors
used, including what elements of the “open Internet” definition that accompanies this process.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">On your comment about the IXP, I agree that support to actually set up IXPs is needed. In APNIC’s case we have been supporting quite a lot of IXPs in the Asia Pacific region, but our support
for the most part, does not go the actual infrastructure purchase, but the development of capacity, design, community engagement, etc. The investment in actual equipment can be quite small, compared to what is needed on the development of capacity for management
and operation and the support network of people that support the idea to actually succeed. It is very similar with the support for CERTs we have been working on over the past few years, not much goes towards equipment, but to support the development of the
skills and the leadership of those managing them on the day to day basis. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I do not think that having an objective that says “the Internet” will not be in any way, a challenge to ICANN’s tax status. There are financial mechanisms that allows for Mission Related Investments
to be used to build a portfolio of projects or organizations that has ICANN mission as a start. Tides (in Boston) could provide advice. See MRIs
<a href="https://www.tides.org/i-want-to/invest-with-values-further-my-mission/make-an-mri-or-pri/">
https://www.tides.org/i-want-to/invest-with-values-further-my-mission/make-an-mri-or-pri/</a> and check the fees
<a href="https://www.tides.org/i-want-to/invest-with-values-further-my-mission/open-an-invested-donor-advised-fund/">
https://www.tides.org/i-want-to/invest-with-values-further-my-mission/open-an-invested-donor-advised-fund/</a> for administration (as an example) will be lower than 1%. If we could get advice from experts about investment mechanisms, such as donor advise funds,
MRI, or others, I am sure this group will be more comfortable knowing that the objective of the fund does not have to be the ICANN mission to the letter, that it can be a bit broader, and still very much aligned with its mandate.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">I have missed several meetings, so perhaps I am misunderstanding, but I have some real difficulties with the Objectives as presented.<br>
<br>
What we have is:<br>
<br>
<span style="color:blue">The overall objective of the allocation of new gTLD Auction Proceeds is to benefit the development, distribution and evolution of the Internet's unique identifier systems. Within this overall objective, priority should be given to support

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="color:blue">Benefit structures or projects that directly support the Internet's unique identifier systems
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:72.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1">

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="color:blue">Benefit the Open Internet</span>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">I think the bullet points are fine, but I have a hard time justifying why the first and third ones even fit under "benefit the development, distribution and evolution of the Internet's unique identifier systems".<br>
<br>
I would far prefer if the bullets were examples of objectives and we use words from the mission to constrain them.
<br>
<br>
I do understand that if we are not careful we could endanger our tax status, and ensuring that this does not happen is important. But I think we also have a moral obligation ensure that subject to not harming ICANN, we use the funds to have the greatest possible
impact. By having the mission of ICANN as a constrain and not the objective, we have a chance of doing that.<br>
<br>
I am glad to see that in this version, we have replaced reference to the DNS with the wider reference to unique identifiers which includes the addressing community. And since we are wholly dependent on the protocol community for much of what we do, and they
are one on of the IANA customers, they should be included as well. It is the entire ecosystem within which ICANN functions that we should be striving to target, and not some narrow subset that ICANN does in its "day job".<br>
