    <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">I believe there

            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

            the Empowered Community give up the Accountability processes

            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>

            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

            be advisable (for the Board, ICANN org, the Community, and
            the grant recipients themselves)   to structure as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

            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

            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

                          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

                          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.

                          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
