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>
<font color="#0000FF">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 activities that:
<ul>
<li>Benefit capacity building and underserved populations
</li><li>Benefit structures or projects that directly support the Internet's
unique identifier systems
</li><li>Benefit the Open Internet</li></ul></font>
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><br>
