<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I would like to offer a bit of additional clarification to Marilyn’s comment referring to the Open Technology Fund, “this funding source is focused on creating dissidence toward repressive regimes”
and invite you all to read a bit about the history of the Open Technology Fund <a href="https://www.opentech.fund/about/our-history/">
https://www.opentech.fund/about/our-history/</a> and what they actually do and how they are funded (US Government funding, congressionally approved).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">They have one grant fund that supports Internet Freedom, if that is what you mean by “repressive regimes” and they have supported the development of many circumvention tools, encryption and privacy
tools that are extremely valuable and useful and very much aligned with core Internet principles.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">They do have other funding categories that are pretty close to what this CCWG has been discussing and some of the examples on our list, have already being funded by them. An example of a DNS related
project that does not have anything to do with what you are saying is here, <a href="https://www.opentech.fund/results/supported-projects/bind9-qname-minimization/">
