<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">After careful consideration, the new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Co-Chairs have decided to CANCEL the community outreach session that was originally scheduled for
 THURSDAY 15 MARCH from 8.30 – 10.15. As discussed during our previous meeting, there are no issues or questions that require community input at this stage and as such, it would be better use of community time if an update would be provided in the form of a
 newsletter shortly after ICANN61 and plan for a community outreach session at ICANN62 instead. As you know, the option was also considered to transform this session into a F2F meeting but noting the lack of availability of external experts for that session
 and limited time to prepare a review of responses that may have been received by that time, it was deemed better to focus the CCWG’s energy on the Sunday session instead.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
