<p>HI Anne,</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your detailed analysis. I agree with you. I
do not recall our group ever having a discussion on the empowered
community and how it related to the Grant Making Process or to
Auction Proceeds but I could be wrong. <br>
</p>
<p>What you say about accountability is exactly why I did not
support Mechanism A and only Supported Mechanism B after the Grant
making and evaluations are done outside of ICANN. Mechanism C is
the best in my mind but also more expensive. I think Mechanism B
can be a good compromise if done right and has all the
accountability measures you mention. <br>
</p>
<p>I agree with your choices of 1,2 & 3 <br>
</p>
<p>There was never any consensus on choosing one mechanism which is
why we have three. A survey is supposed to be launched from
November 25-December 1 but that is the same time as the IGF and
the Thanksgiving holiday which many will be attending so hopefully
the dates of the survey can be extended to allows for consultation
with the communities. <br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Judith<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">Proposed
Final Report and Consensus<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I believe there
was CCWG consensus regarding the need for a Fundamental
ByLaws change as to the unavailability of Request for
Reconsideration (RFR) and Independent Review Panel (IRP) in
relation to
<u>applicants</u> vis-à-vis the grant-making process.
Here, the CCWG makes a NEW recommendation on page 23 of the
Proposed Final report in relation to remedies available to
applicants for grants. This recommendation does not cover
the possibility of RFR and IRP that might be filed by
someone other than an applicant and I believe that risk must
be controlled as well. (It’s possible persons other than
applicants could file an RFR or an IRP in relation to
ICANN’s handling of the grant-making process.) The Proposed
Final Report should likely also reflect that this requires a
Fundamental ByLaws change requiring approval by 3/4 of the
EC because public commenters need to know this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In the limited
tracking I have done prior to becoming the voting rep for
the CSG Chartering organization, I don’t recall any specific
discussions in relation to a ByLaws amendment relative to
the powers of the Empowered Community established in the
revisions to the ByLaws made in 2016 as a result of the
Accountability Workstream 1 work. Did the CCWG discuss
these specific Empowered Community powers in relation to the
Budget relative to use of Auction Proceeds? Should the CCWG
clarify that we are not recommending ByLaws changes in
relation to EC powers? And if we do, does that make
individual grants subject to EC powers (a result the CCWG
does not want.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">To be specific,
it does not appear to me from the Proposed Final Report that
there has ever been a CCWG Consensus Recommendation in
relation to (a) availability of RFR and IRP to persons
other than applicants for grants or (b) any effect on the EC
powers memorialized in 2016 in relation to the use of
Auction Proceeds funds. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I sincerely
hope we can clarify that the CCWG is not recommending that
the Empowered Community give up the Accountability processes
contained in the ByLaws in relation to Budgeting of funds
obtained via Auction Proceeds. In my view as an active
member of Subsequent Procedures, this is a long term concern
since the Sub Pro WG is quite likely to confirm that
auctions will remain the mechanism of last resort in string
contention far into the future. While I understand that
“ability to Sunset” is important in relation to the
principle of not trying to establish a long term principal
endowment, it does seem appropriate to consider that future
new gTLD rounds were always intended and are likely to
proceed at some point. Thus, future auctions are likely to
result in additional auction proceeds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Again, in order
to be crystal clear on page 23 of the Proposed Final Report,
it would also be helpful if Samantha could clarify how
specific ByLaws amendments can be proposed based on the CCWG
recommendations. The ByLaws seem to provide in Article 25
that this cannot be “directly proposed” by the CCWG itself
so I assume that what the CCWG recommends would need to then
lead to a formulation by the Board of a specific ByLaws
amendment. See attached section 25.4.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Accordingly, in
relation to the Proposed Final Report, I believe that the
Recommendation (NEW) on page 23 should be reworked to
clarify the CCWG Recommendations in relation to the needed
ByLaws amendments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">Choice of
Mechanism and Survey<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Separately, in
regard to the description of risk management I will need to
provide to the CSG, I am trying to clarify whether it would
be advisable (for the Board, ICANN org, the Community, and
the grant recipients themselves) to structure as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">(1) Fundamental
ByLaws change to remove RFR and IRP from (a) remedies for
applicants for the funds (b) remedies for anyone else who
may have standing to file against ICANN decisions about
Budgeting re use of funds inside the org and (b) ICANN
decisions about how much to allot to grant-making in
“tranches”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">(2) Preserve EC
Powers as they stand in the ByLaws in relation to general
Budgeting for both (a) the ICANN org use of the Auction
Proceeds funds and (b) ICANN org budgeting of “tranches” for
grant-making purposes. EC powers as to the Budget process
have a much higher threshold for challenging ICANN’s
accountability than do RFR and IRP. A challenge is not
easily mounted and a forum must be convened, etc, etc. But I
don’t think anyone would want the EC powers to apply to any
individual grant. So it seems we need to choose a structure
that keeps the “Budget” aspect of an overall line item for
grants within the EC Accountablity provisions but puts the
individual grant-making outside the EC Accountablity powers.
(Perhaps I am wrong that individual grant-making could be
subject to EC general powers if Mechanism A is utilized and
if so, please advise. I just don’t think the CCWG actually
has a Consensus on recommending a ByLaws change in relation
to the EC accountability powers.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">(3) To preserve
the EC powers as to Budget, it would seem “cleaner” to
place the actual individual grant-making processes outside
ICANN org and have the CCWG recommend and the EC acknowledge
that specific individual grants are not subject to the EC
Budgeting powers if <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="color:#1F497D">(a) they are made by a pre-existing
non-profit with expertise in grant-making working under the
guidelines provided by the work of the CCWG and in
accordance with the Board’s oversight responsibilities and
fiduciary duties. (Mechanism B)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span
style="color:#1F497D">(b) or they are made by an ICANN
Foundation formed with an independent Board of Directors
similar to the manner in which PTI was formed with ICANN as
the sole member of the corporation and thus well able to
conduct oversight and fiduciary responsibilities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I appreciate
any observations other CCWG members may have that will help
bring me up to speed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

consensus that decisions on individual grants should

that a bylaws change should be pursued. Inasmuch as
the EC agreed to a fundamental bylaws change in
Montreal, it seems all members have established the

style="color:#1F497D">Thank you Samantha. I
want to make sure I understand the
implications for Accountability mechanisms and
ByLaws amendments when presenting the options
to the CSG. As an initial matter, could you
please clarify one question as to Article 25.4
OTHER AMENDMENTS. “Neither the EC, the
Decisional Participants, the Supporting
Organizations, the Advisory Committees nor any
other entity or person shall have the power to
directly propose amendments to these Bylaws”.
In this regard, I gather that the CCWG
recommends and then the Board itself will
specifically propose a Fundamental ByLaws
amendment in relation to Auction Proceeds.
Is that your understanding?

style="color:#1F497D">It seems a bit unlikely
that the EC will want to give up its powers in
relation to the Budgeting process as regards
the use of Auction Proceeds for (a) use for
grant-making purposes (regardless of the
mechanism chosen) OR (b) internal use by ICANN
Org in its own budget. (Perhaps that is why
there is a bullet point in Board comment
relative to the cost of complying with
Accountability mechanisms. However, this cost
is identified in that Board comment that now
appears on page 10 of the Proposed Final Draft
as a cost associated ONLY with Mechanism A.
The other mechanisms are listed in the Board
input as requiring the further development of
independent Accountability mechanisms so that
is a bit confusing.) However, overall
Budgeting is of course different from the
making of individual grants per se. I think
we definitely need to protect individual
grants from being revoked by the EC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

works with an outside contractor already set

it would seem that although overall Budget

grants made by the pre-existing expert
non-profit would not necessarily be subject
to being revoked through an EC process. In
other words, working with a qualified expert
grant-making organization could reduce risk,
including the risk to recipients of grants.

affect or influence the choice of the
independent expert non-profit organization and

sure. Can you confirm? If this is the case,
could another California non-profit public

outside legal resources were used to set up
