and 35.4 and, thus, these were not forwarded to the Board for its consideration. As a result, there are
<b>no recommendations on private auctions</b> (see also Council Clarifying Statement in the
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/scorecard-subpro-pdp-board-action-10sep23-en.pdf">

<p class="MsoNormal">I reread the final report and ascending clock is not foreseen in the report, only a sealed bid like you mentioned. And the sealed bid amount needs to be informed prior to Reveal Day, although it may be later changed in some conditions
(like indirect contention and withdrawals). <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I had not given that matter thought in my initial statement, but in general the economist in my favors, in this case, simple sealed bid auctions. There applicants have to make a "best guess" based on their business
case estimates. This avoids bidding wars, and a bit less revenue to ICANN, but is also gives the winner a cost based on their business case estimates. ICANN going for more, and gamblers will likely disagree with me.<o:p></o:p></p>
