 budget, would need clarity whether another entity could work on this project as this would be considered consistent as ICANN already works on this, but it could probably not be used to fund a specific project that is already being funded. Differentiate between
 the label / topic and a specific project. CCWG may need to further consider how limited or broad may go with regards to whether or not something that ICANN Org has funded previously could be funded, or whether it is only intended for projects that ICANN Org
 has not funded previously. Need to be clear about this and not leave a question mark. The more it looks like operational work, it gets close to crossing the line. Highlights the importance of independence of evaluators to make these decisions. If it is currently
 or more recently funded, it should not be eligible. Could develop grant-making guidelines which specifically either exclude line items funded in the ICANN budget. But grantmaking could still be guided by the Strategic Plan goals.<u></u><u></u></span></span></span></p>
