Notes from the New gTLD Auction Proceeds CCWG Meeting:
1. Start of meeting - roll call
· Please remember to mute your microphones when not speaking and state your name before speaking
2. Welcome
· CCWG members and participants will be asked at the start of the meeting to communicate when updates have been made to the declaration of interest (DOI)
· Recap of CCWG meeting in Copenhagen - please see https://community.icann.org/x/N7zRAw
· Leadership team will request a meeting slot for ICANN59, but recognises that request may not be granted considering the limitations of the meeting (duration and policy focus)
Action item #1: Staff to circulate doodle poll to assess likely in person and/or remote participation should a session be organised at ICANN59
3. DOI identification (see https://community.icann.org/x/FpjDAw[community.icann.org])
· As many responses were not a clear yes/no, staff took the conservative approach and identified anyone that did not say 'NO' with a '*' recognising that it may not be an accurate reflection of who is expected to apply for funding in the future.
· Proposal to change the approach to only mark those that provided a clear 'YES' response, while requesting everyone to review their current responses and noting that at the start of every meeting members/participants will be asked to identify whether or not any changes have been made to the DOI.
· DOI was introduced to ensure transparency in light of the issues that this CCWG is expected to address. Ensure transparency around whether there are members/participants that are aiming to shape the recommendations who are also interested to apply subsequently for the funds. Need to understand motivation of deliberation which will need to be factored in by the ICANN Board as it considers the recommendations.
· Possible alternative - add response to question 6 to wiki page so that there is no need to interpret but for everyone to see.
Action item #2: All CCWG Members & Participants to review their DOI and ensure that it is up to date. Any changes to the DOI should be communicated to staff.
Action item #3: Staff to update wiki page by adding a column which would include the response to question 6 of the DOI.
4. Response to Board letter (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JkLb69iVyJ2TOps1NtgEGXkom37xY6S5KmQB2STNAIk/edit[docs.google.com])
· Proposed approach: acknowledge receipt but note that in a number of areas the CCWG may need to give further consideration to the issue and may or may not agree with the Board's input.
· CCWG to identify whether there are any specific issues that need clarification at this stage or whether it is likely that these issues will get addressed at a later point in time.
Action item #4: CCWG members & participants requested to identify whether there are any further issues that require further specific response to ICANN Board by 6 April.
Action item #5: Staff to work with leadership team on preparing a first draft response for CCWG review in time for the next meeting.
5. Initial review of charter questions & work plan
· See proposed approach discussed and circulated during the meeting
· Proposed step 1 - initial run through of all charter questions, step 2 compile list of possible mechanisms, step 3, determine whcih mechanisms demonstrate potential to meet CCWG expectations, step 4 answer charter questions for mechanism(s) that demonstrated most potential, step 5, following consensus on mechanism and responses to charter questions, publish Initial Report for public comment
Action item #6: CCWG to review proposed approach and provide feedback to the list ahead of the next CCWG meeting
Action item #7: If there are no objections to this approach, staff to work on updating the work plan & timeline with this approach in mind.
