It is not yet clear to me.<br><br>

Sarah is a paid consultant to ICANN.<br><br>

Is this submission from her wearing that hat, or was she also named as a

person who might be useful to us, not realizing her other paid

role?<br><br>

The person that we are speaking with is a contracted party to ICANN

I value having paid consultants but I just want to be sure I know when I

am speaking 'with a paid <br><br>

consultant, or a volunteer. The value to paid consultant is that they

have accountability to be<br><br>

independent. But just checking as when the staff introduced the name of

the speaker, one had to <br><br>

read the input document to learn that the speaker is a paid

consultant.  In the future, let's be sure <br><br>

to always be clear about affiliations and contracted roles.<br><br>

Dear All,<br>

 <br>

As noted in the Charter development phase, the work of the CCWG and the

ultimate recommendations will carry important legal and financial

implications for ICANN as an organization and also upon the fiduciary

duties and responsibilities of the ICANN Board Members and ICANN

Officers. <br>

 <br>

There are also practical aspects to the CCWGā€™s anticipated

recommendations, such as understanding basic tenets and practices of the

grant-making and philanthropic giving space. In preparing to support this

CCWG, ICANN recognized that this is not a core skill or knowledge base

within the ICANN organization Therefore, to prepare ICANN to understand

this space, ICANN has contracted with a resource with a lot of experience

on the grant-making/philanthropic giving side.  This resource will

be available, as necessary, to provide the ICANN organization and Board

answers, guidance, and research on these topics.<br>

 <br>

<u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-berg-cfp%C2%AE-24b9203">

Sarah Berg</a></u> is the Principal of Ponsonby Partners in Washington

D.C.- a consultancy firm providing philanthropic advisement and strategic

planning to high net-worth clients, nonprofits, and foundations. A

Certified Financial Planner (CFP) from Georgetown, Sarah spent 8 years

working for Keel Point LLC wealth management advisory company for

individuals and families. In her role as Wealth Advisor and subsequently

Senior Wealth Advisor, Sarah was responsible for strategy and execution

of financial decisions for multinational, multigenerational ultra-high

net worth families ($100m+). This included managing direct investments,

international businesses, private equity, traditional investing,

commercial and residential real estate, tax and estate structuring, risk

management, impact investing, philanthropic administration, and family

governance.<br>

 <br>

Sarah has had experience creating multiple non-profits both domestically

in the U.S. and internationally. She is well versed in grant processes

and California rules and regulations in regards to non-profits and has

experience serving on not-for-profit Boards. Her focus at Keel Point

allowed her to represent clients and work with stakeholders primarily in

Asia, Africa, and Europe- so she is used to working across varying

cultures and timezones.<br>

 <br>

While Sarah has been contracted to provide the ICANN organization with

support, we wanted to update the CCWG and offer that she be added to the

CCWGā€™s list of Experts as a potential additional expertise

resource.  The CCWG can explore if it would like to avail of her

expertise on specific topics. <br>

 <br>

ICANNā€™s contracting with Sarah to provide inputs internally is not

intended to replace any other expertise or resources that the CCWG has

identified, but as an additional potential avenue for input alongside

others. To facilitate the CCWGā€™s consideration of reference of

questions to/inputs from Sarah, we will request that Sarah fills out the

expertise survey so that the CCWG can have more insight on where her

expertise lies.<br>

 <br>

Best regards,<br>
