Specific objectives of new gTLD Auction Proceeds fund allocation are:

• • • Benefit the development, distribution, evolution and structures/projects that support the Internet's unique identifier systems;
    • Benefit capacity building and underserved populations, and;
    • Benefit the Open Internet. [Note, the definition of Open Internet is subject to a separate conversation]

New gTLD Auction Proceeds are expected to be allocated in a manner consistent with ICANN’s mission.

Preliminary CCWG Agreement A:

The CCWG's focus is on the funds that are currently available without any assumption that additional funds will become available. The CCWG will focus on developing recommendations that will enable the disbursement of the funds in an effective and judicious manner without creating a perpetual mechanism (i.e. not being focused on preservation of capital).
