[Dt-cwg-auctionproceeds] Auction Proceeds DT Meeting 21/04/16: Outcomes and Action items

[David Tait]

Dear All

Please find below the outcomes and action items from today’s meeting:

Item 2. Update from Sam Eisner (ICANN Legal) re: Briefing note on fiduciary and legal constraints 
Item held over until next meeting. A briefing note on fiduciary and legal constraints is being prepared by legal staff in consultation with the finance team.
Item 3. Update from Erika and Russ review of public comments and identification of which items should be considered in relation to the development of the charter



Many of the comments fell into the category of not being clearly an issue for either the DT or the subsequent CCWG. This has been noted in each of the comments. Hope is that this will make it easier to take a view on each comment. Additionally, legal involvement is required on several of these issues. A number of the comments raised issues relating to 'guiding principles' which should shape the process. Finally, this will require to be considered by the DT as a whole.

 

Action items #1: (i) document to be uploaded as google doc by staff, (ii) add additional column to allow for DT comments, (iii) DT to individually review sub-team views and discuss at next meeting including identifying whether there is agreement/disagreement/supplement the sub-team view and considering where issues should be dealt with in the charter.



Item 4. Review and consideration of next steps in relation to charter section questions and example language 



Proposal for DT to discuss key issues on draft charter with default approach on different questions identified to be provided by staff to serve as a strating point for discussion:

 

Action item #2: Staff to provide current default approach to different questions identified for different charter sections



Key issues to be determined: 

- whether the sum of money is considered finite or additional funds may be added to in the future?;

- what principles (such as not constraining the CCWG too closely, legal, fiduciary or other important criteria) does the DT wish to include in the charter to direct the CCWG in its work;

- consider whether to restrain the CWG to focus on developing the process by which the money is dispensed, not on dispensing the money itself; and

- understand legal and financial constraints which must apply to the use of these funds

 

Action item #3: Board liaisons to come back with legal (law and ICANN constitution) and other documentary (i.e. tax and financial report) constraints which apply and must be incorporated in the Charter as constraints that the CCWG will need to respect.


Item 5. Confirm meeting schedule and discuss possible meeting in Helsinki

 

Agreed to skip meeting on 28 April to following week (5 May 2016 @ 1300 UTC) and to meet for 2 hours. (12 May 2016 @ 2100 UTC to remain as scheduled)

 
Action item #3: Staff to calendar next appointments for meetings
