</div>
<div>While I greatly appreciate the progress to treat all 3 mechanisms until we further prioritize neutrally, I am objecting to the following insertion which once again conveys that Mechanism C in certain situation [e.g. an independent Foundation] is less
desirable than Mechanism A or B. </div>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="background-color: yellow;"><font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> From the perspective of mechanism C, ICANN would likely not be able to apply for funds granted through
a charitable foundation developed to support ICANN's mission, due to self-dealing concerns in the administration and oversight of foundations. To the extent that ICANN is not an applicant for funds through the foundation, but is instead among the intended
beneficiaries of an applicant's use of the applied-for grant, each such situation would need to be investigated on the particular set of facts and circumstances to see if self-dealing or indirect self-dealing concerns arise.<b></b></span></font></span></p>
