<h3><span style="font-family:Times">In Brief<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Times">The New gTLD Program (approved in 2011 established auctions as a mechanism of last resort to resolve string contention (when two or more applications are in direct contention). Most string contentions (approximately 90% of
the competing application sets) have been resolved through other means, and never reach an auction conducted by ICANN's authorized auction service provider. For the others, however, they proceed to an ICANN-facilitated auction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times">It was recognized from the outset that significant funds could accrue as a result of these ICANN-facilitated auctions of last resort. To date, over 230 million USD has been accrued. These auction proceeds have been reserved
and earmarked until the ICANN Board authorizes a plan for the appropriate use of the funds. A Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG) is now being formed, and the CCWG will be tasked to develop a proposal(s) on the mechanism to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds
and the ICANN Board must consider the proposal. The CCWG will NOT make any recommendations or determinations with regards to specific funding decisions (i.e. which specific projects or organizations are to be funded or not).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Times">Below you will find further information concerning the various ways you can participate and/or contribute to this effort as well as the expected time commitment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-family:Times">What the CCWG is tasked to do<o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family:Times">The CCWG is tasked with developing a proposal(s) for consideration by the Chartering Organizations (those ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees that have adopted the CCWG Charter) on the mechanism that should
be developed in order to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds. That proposal will then be submitted to the ICANN Board.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

ICANN meeting in Singapore[singapore52.icann.org]</a>. As part of that discussion, it became clear that there was interest from the GNSO to commence formal conversations on the topic of new gTLD auction proceeds and following which, the GNSO Council reached
out to other ICANN Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) to determine whether there would be interest to form a cross-community working group (CCWG) on this topic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

discussion paper[newgtlds.icann.org]</a> [PDF, 456 KB] 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. 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 have put forward volunteers to participate in the drafting team. The Drafting Team ('DT'), commenced its deliberations on Tuesday 23 February 2016. A draft charter for community discussion was published
in advance of ICANN 56 and discussed during the <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__sched.co_7NE0&d=DgMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=wL3Zo2cS0E1587i1K6plo1c3_QE_VYKpzxK_zxU6nHchrvvSIST7VWCi3I7o_dqG&m=aRnzLOSojZ-yLSInqbsH6MxoDvgjl43Mma8a6RTHjxs&s=kTPOBpvUh-oyiVpeqQvvdS4tqKBMiGGnMkEPW_6pjXM&e=">
cross-community session[sched.co]</a> held at ICANN56. Following ICANN56, the DT <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_fgmbAw&d=DgMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=wL3Zo2cS0E1587i1K6plo1c3_QE_VYKpzxK_zxU6nHchrvvSIST7VWCi3I7o_dqG&m=aRnzLOSojZ-yLSInqbsH6MxoDvgjl43Mma8a6RTHjxs&s=rWHPeAGLb1_uLm-_zClUjZWkSwAJpXaNnLRURVDVh34&e=">
reviewed all the input received[community.icann.org]</a> and updated the proposed charter accordingly. On 13 September,
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_mRuOAw&d=DgMFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=wL3Zo2cS0E1587i1K6plo1c3_QE_VYKpzxK_zxU6nHchrvvSIST7VWCi3I7o_dqG&m=aRnzLOSojZ-yLSInqbsH6MxoDvgjl43Mma8a6RTHjxs&s=MhfylmRmU9NRjllQ-QnPPv_rpYD1cSmFgzWMHy_R6Ko&e=">
this proposed charter[community.icann.org]</a> 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. Subsequently, a webinar was held on 13 October to allow for some
additional time and information to undertake this review. As no pertinent issues were identified, the proposed charter was submitted for adoption by the ICANN SO/ACs prior to the ICANN meeting in Hyderabad. To date, the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC),
ASO (Address Supporting Organization), ccNSO (Country Code Supporting Organization) and GNSO have adopted the charter with other groups expected to follow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
