Internet. Not create an impression that this group is trying to define a term which is already being used in other contexts. Also make clear that it concerns a network of networks. Not about defining Open Internet but how fund allocation might fit into the
broader scope of Open Internet. But some may just ignore this nuance so need to consider whether to use different terminology.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Some concerns expressed about some of the bullet points - CCWG to consider whether all of these belong here. Also consider making the statements more high level
and moving some of the examples to a different section / annex. Providing examples may also trigger proposals that are focused on those specific examples so may not be advisable. Examples may be helpful for evaluators though - could consider not publishing
the examples with call for proposals but as guidance for evaluators or as part of an FAQ for possible applicants? This discussion may be premature as materials for applicants and/or evaluators are for a later stage. Focus on examples here is to ensure that
there is a common understanding on what the focus and objectives of fund allocation is.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">While this group is focused on gTLDs, it should be recognized that ccTLDs are very important contributors to increasing access. Perhaps this could become a
neutral statement about the importance of an online presence and providing information about all kinds of TLDs?</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Even though infrastructure is related to ICANN's mission it is not part of ICANN's mission so it is not clear that auction proceeds could be used appropriately
on infrastructure. As such, it may not be appropriate to include reference to items that are not considered within scope of ICANN's mission. The funds shouldn't go to technology that are completely independent of ICANN, such as 5G, wifi, dsl, etc., since this
funding could be used against ICANN in the end, to create e.g. another logical addressing system, names and numbers. Need to look further into the question of whether infrastructure is considered consistent with ICANN's mission or not.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l4 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If the auction-funds are awarded in one-time portion(s), and awards may face the risk to be perceived to have a 'wider scope' than strictly 'Icanns mission',
then in Holland you can ask the tax-authorities for an 'upfront tax-ruling'.... I guess it is the same in the USA.? There are some proactive processes available through the IRS though they may not be binding opinions. It is not just about the IRS but there
is also the broader ICANN community. If there is not agreement amongst the Board and/or community whether something is within ICANN's mission, it could result in an accusation of violation of the Bylaws so there would need to be agreement amongst community
and Board about what is within ICANN's mission. Risk of expanding mission statement through work of this group which may not be welcomed by all.

interest in the outcome when stating certain positions (for example, if you or your organisation is interested/planning to apply for funding to support infrastructure projects, make sure to make that clear when advocating to add infrastructure as an objective).

conclusions and recommendations to be free of the content that resulted from the conflict. Transparency is not sufficient, it only allows to take the next step when it is needed. This is part of the rationale of the recommendation that the Board made to this
working group to establish a mechanism to deal with identified conflict of interest.</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo4"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Consider further during next meeting.
