[council] [FormerMembersCCWG-AP] ICANN Grant Program session at ICANN78

[Anne ICANN]

Thank you Giovanni.  Please note that GNSO Council is in receipt of a
letter from Xavier regarding the issue that has been addressed on this list
in relation to the CCWG Final Report Recommendation to the Board to amend
the ByLaws to protect grants from being overturned using the Accountability
mechanisms.  In this regard, not much discussion has occurred on this list
since Erika sent an email stating that the Co-Chairs of the CCWG support
the Final Recommendation as previously adopted by the Board to amend the
ByLaws.

A status update to this list and to those copied would be appreciated.  The
GNSO Council had sent a letter stating that any alternate solution varying
the Final Report should have the approval of all CCWG Chartering
Organizations.  This is because Chartering Organization approval of CCWG
Final Recommendations is a Fundamental Principle of the CCWG Working Group
guidelines.   The response to the GNSO Council contained in the most recent
letter from Xavier will be under discussion as an agenda item at the next
GNSO Council meeting.  (Please note Council members are copied on this
email.)

A hybrid solution has been proposed on this list, whereby the first $10M
could be granted in a timely manner with a ByLaws amendment process to be
followed for the next and subsequent grant application rounds.  We look
forward to hearing from ICANN in relation to this alternative proposal from
some of the former members of the CCWG.  (Raising this suggestion on the
list should not in any way be interpreted as agreement by the GNSO Council
to that proposal.)

Thank you,
Anne
