<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Regardless of which mechanism that is chosen to do the work, there would always be a certain level of independence and following whatever rules are set by the CCWG for disbursement of funds. Conflating different issues here as
independence and recommendations would apply to any mechanism chosen. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo13;vertical-align:middle">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Not a lot of research has been done yet regarding liability - within the ICANN system, the more the decisions are placed in-house, the whole range of accountability mechanisms would apply and could be activated. If it would be
done with a third party, any such requirements would be contractually established. No additional liability compared to other organizations that would be disbursing funds, but due consideration would need to be given to building good structures and processes.
Legal will check whether there is anything that is unique to ICANN and as such would affect liability, but it is not obvious at this stage.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo13;vertical-align:middle">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Has independence already been defined in the context of the CCWG deliberations? See for example PTI - but in the context of auction proceeds, there should be a majority of independent directors to ensure there is a balance with
external oversight. Could easily be achieved with community representation and/or external expertise.
