<p class="MsoNormal">Dear SO/AC Chairs,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are following up on our message below from 13 September (see below) concerning the proposed new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Charter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To date, we’ve received confirmation from the ccNSO that it is ready to go ahead and consider the charter for adoption. In addition, the GNSO leadership team requested a webinar to allow for a walk-through of the charter and address any
questions there might be. This webinar, which was communicated to you and open to anyone interested, was held on Thursday 13 October. For those interested to listen to a recording of the webinar, or to review the slides, please see here:

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Therefore, the Drafting Team considers its work done and would hereby like to formally submit the proposed charter for a CCWG on new gTLD Auction Proceeds (see
