constituent parts, including the Board, ICANN org, and the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees that make up the ICANN community. As we have emphasized during CCWG meetings, in Board correspondence, and in subsequent CCWG documentation, neither
the Board nor ICANN org will participate in the evaluation of individual applications, nor should any SO or AC be represented - directly or indirectly - on the Evaluation Panel itself. As indicated above; however, we do see an important role for the community

of this scenario. Under this scenario, what is the rationale to have separation of the department within ICANN org? In addition, it is not actually meaningful to define how activities need to be organized within ICANN org as this is a CEO prerogative and authority.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

"retention" in this instance means that ICANN does not transfer the funds to the intermediary foundation before releasing to the applicants. There is no aspect of “bribery” here. Also, this response was not about ICANN repurposing auction proceeds funds prior
to tranches. We were asked a question about ICANN having access to funds as approved through the evaluation process. Under Mechanism C, there is a self-dealing concern if ICANN is a project partner for a project funded through the proceeds</span><span style="font-family:"MS Gothic";color:#333333;background:white">
