[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Judith Hellerstein's comments on the Auction Proceeds Draft

[Alan Greenberg]

Anne, there is no question that one can structure 
a foundation so it is "independent". My point was 
in all of the time we have been considering such 
a structure, we have never even mentioned this 
criteria - and its absence could allw us to 
create a foundation which is ultimately fully 
controlled by ICANN. It is this lack of focus on 
the important matters instead of the names that concerns me.
