</SPAN></SPAN>Following a number of sessions on the topic of new gTLD Auction
proceeds during the ICANN53 in Buenos Aires (see <A

a discussion paper was published in September 2015 to solicit further community
input on this topic as well as the proposal to proceed with a CCWG on this
topic.<o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN></SPAN>As the feedback received on the discussion paper confirmed the
support for moving forward with a CCWG, James Bladel, GNSO Chair, reached out to
all the ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to ask for
volunteers to participate in a drafting team to develop a charter for a CCWG on
this topic. All ICANN SO/ACs, apart from the ccNSO, responded to this request
and put forward volunteers to participate in the drafting team.<o:p></o:p></P>

</SPAN></SPAN>The DT published a draft charter for community discussion in
advance of ICANN 56 which was discussed during the cross-community session held
at ICANN56. Following ICANN56, the DT reviewed all the input received and
updated the proposed charter accordingly. On 13 September, this proposed charter
was shared with all ICANN SO/ACs with the request to review it and identify any
pertinent issues that would prevent adoption of the charter, if
any.<o:p></o:p></P>
