[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Proposed agenda new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Meeting - Thursday 25 January at 14.00 UTC

Thu Jan 25 17:21:36 UTC 2018

Hello,
thanks Xavier.

I had several problems with Adobe Connect today, no way to write in the
chat and some access problems.

Similar issues have happened to me  in other calls (GNSO WT5), when I chair
some calls and in the last one I got no audio from the platform, etc).

I suggest that ICANN technical staff check with Adobe because, at least for
me, the platform does not seem to be totally reliable.

Best
Olga

> As a follow up to today’s call, please find below 2 suggested edits:

>
> 1- Question #3 relative to audit. See below suggested updated text of the
> question to clarify the nature of the audit referred to in the question.
>
> “What fiduciary and auditing requirements, whether financial or
> non-financial, would need to be established for this program?”
>
> I am also suggesting to remove the secondary question below, within
> question #3, which is to vague to be addressed.
>
> “How will audits need to be managed?”
>
>
>
> 2- Recommended question on administrative costs
>
> The question currently reads as: “Would a fixed percentage, like for
> example 5%, for administrating and covering the costs of the distribution
> of the funds be reasonable for project applications? If yes, please provide
> input on what percentage should apply as well as what the percentage should
> be applied to (for example, % of total funds available for disbursement, or
> % per year or in total over the life of the project?)”
>
>
>
> The part of the question that asks “what percentage should apply” does not
> make sense. An external expert can not say what *should* apply to ICANN’s
> specific and unique program, but can only share common practices they know
> about, or the practice of the entity they work for.
>
> I also want to remind everyone that the administrative costs are not
> defined by a top/down assumption, 5% for example, but are the RESULT of the
> procedures that need to be put in place to meet the objectives defined.
> Again, as an example, if we decide that all grant decisions should be
> reviewed independently, it will cost 10 times more than if we decide that
> only a sample of 10% of all grant decisions should be reviewed.
>
> No one can “decide” that the costs are 2%, 5% or 15%. What can be decided
> is what procedures should be put in place, which will then result in a
> certain level of costs. An external expert can not know what administrative
> costs the ICANN’s disbursement program “should” result in. The external
> expert can only provide an external opinion on what other entities see
> administrative costs to be, for their program.
>
> I would therefore suggest rephrasing the question as follows:
>
> “What are the main costs to be incurred for grant distribution program?
> What are the various methods to measure these costs (fixed cost for the
> entire program, percentage of the total funds allocated for
> distribution,…)? If a percentage is commonly used in practice, what is the
> level of percentage most frequently observed?’’
