Board Liaison Input Board committed to be proactive but doesn’t want to be proscriptive Board discussed today what it would expect to see back. Preliminary thoughts that Board has, not intended to be proscriptive. Fiduciary obligations and Board to employ due diligence when it comes to assets as well as mechanism used to allocate auction proceeds. Preliminary principles: [if !supportLists]• [endif]Tranches in a period of years, not all at once (e.g. 3-4 year period) to make sure that mechanisms are in place and working properly. May consider max. amount for which board needs to be get involved, but not decided yet. [if !supportLists]• [endif]Proceeds need to be used in service of the ICANN mission. ‘In service” provides some flexibility, but it is not wide open either. Not used for operational purposes. [if !supportLists]• [endif]Mechanism needs to be efficient and effective. Should encompass the expertise and scale necessary to minimize overhead and to maximize the impact. [if !supportLists]• [endif]The mechanism has to be capable of acting globally, evaluate proposals from around the world, and administer and oversee on a global level. [if !supportLists]• [endif]The mechanism needs to be accountable - need to have disbursement based on written timelines that establish clear milestones for release and accountability for grant recipients. [if !supportLists]• [endif]Mechanism needs to have processes in place to evaluate and quantify the impact of projects - fit for purpose, impact measurement. [if !supportLists]• [endif]ICANN needs to have established processes to evaluate the mechanism and its effectiveness [if !supportLists]• [endif]Mechanism needs to ensure that we can be transparent with the community and applicants with regards to status of various projects, evaluation criteria, how funds are used, and these are achieving their goals.
