[council] Fwd: [Ext] Re: GNSO Council comment - CCWG Auction Proceeds

[Arsène Tungali]

Thanks Erika for your email.

My personal view would be to support your suggestion for a generic comment from Council along those lines (re the Auction Proceeds Initial report). I am sure much substance will be coming out of SG/C groups in their submitted comments.

Regards,
Arsene

Unless there are any specific concerns or issues in the Initial Report that the Council believe should be flagged from a Council perspective, I would like to suggest that the Council submit a short note thanking the CCWG for its efforts, welcoming the Initial Report and noting that GNSO SG/Cs have been encouraged to provide input on the Initial Report. I would be happy to draft something if you would support this course of action. Do note that the public comment forum closes on 27 November so any statement would need to be agreed on via the mailing list as soon as possible.

Staff kindly followed up with further information in relation to this decision (https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2018-October/021987.html) as requested. I am not sure whether there is a further desire to discuss this issue and/or consider undertaking potential action, but I would suggest that this is considered separately from the new gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG as it is not within its remit to reconsider or change the Board action.
