acceptance of how fiduciary responsibility works, and almost no understanding of the boundaries set by ICANNs own bylaws, in particular the mission and core values. As you said I think a lot of people have worked on this in some attempt to further their own

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<br>
<br>
As you may be aware, there is currently a pot of money with some $240 million in it,
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">with the community still deciding how to divvy up that cash. The New gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group has been working since January 2017 to develop a mechanism for allocating these funds.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am not a member of this working group, but I am subscribed to their list and do read their discussions. I am concerned that the NCSG does not have a strong precense at this critical stage, where a final report is being authored, and I
have become concerned by a number of interventions of late which seek to ignore community input, rely on personal anecdotes (that on their surface sound a little self-interested to me), and do not seem to reflect the positions that the NCSG advocated for when
we submitted a comment on their initial report. I am hoping our representatives there might consider becoming a bit more vocal soon.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, I am very heartened by the intervention below on behalf of the Business Constituency, Intellectual Property Constituency, and Internet Service Providers and Connectivity Providers. I consider it to be a very important one which
is very much consistent with the positions that the NCSG advocated for, and it is an example of how, sometimes, we can be very much on the same page with the Commercial Stakeholders Group.<o:p></o:p></p>

importance. I can't say that have been able to fully consult recently with the other participants from the CSG, but the general direction has not changed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We supported Mechanism C, and our preference has not changed. Accepting that there needs to be two options, Mechanism A and Mechanism C presented to the community -- still we strongly require that
there be more fact based, and not just opinions from each of us as participants, presented. Thus, while any of us may have experience or preference, the CSG prefers to see fact based and even external reports. We do not support relying on member or participant,
or internal ICANN staff analysis on certain areas, as for Mechanism A, given the landfall of chargeback costs, there could be unrecognized preferences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Thus we want to see independent analysis of the key questions. and while we welcome ICANN legal and financial analysis, it is not sufficient. Further ICANN staff are not experts in grant making,
grant management and while they can "count heads" and analyze certain functions such as completing the tax returns, the 990, etc., maintaining separate bank accounts, as they have done with the Auction Funds proceeds as an interim management function, this
does not morph into a sophisticated grant management entity. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We have described our concern that there are issues about an in-house entity, with many issues related to how to be independent., lack of skills, hiring and firing of staff, increased liability
to ICANN Org, overall, etc. etc <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> It is not accurate to state that because ICANN can set up separate bank accounts and maintain independence of such, that they are experienced in operating a truly independent grant making program.
AND in operating such. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">An internal unit will have higher costs than are being acknowledged. On'e can't work part time on policy development or at GDD or GEE and then, presto, magic, morph over to spend 4 hours per day
on a grant making program, at a lower costs, or at the same, higher cost of ICANN but without any clear distinction for tax reporting purposes. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">ICANN pays much higher salareies/benefits than is usual in a grant making entity and has also exit costs for staff who are part of ICANN and then are "made surplus", etc. And, not it isn't sufficient
to cite California laws as if an employee is based in Europe, they gain additional benefits, like announcing they want to take a sabbatical to attend an educational program, and they simply are then still able to return to ICANN with a guarantee of job, as
we have expeienced in the past. ICANN pays at far above usual rates for a not for profit organization, instead benchmarking against high tech companies -- this has been noted and objected to in the Budget Comments from the community, but is relevant here only
as any "internal" process brings on exceptionally higher costs than is usual in a grant making/grant oversight/management process established in an external organization. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I heard statements like: these staff can apply for ICANN jobs in the future, rather than being terminated. Let's be clear: grant making is a different skill set and we need to recognize that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In addition, the internal mechanism assumes that ICANN bills the "fund" at their usual really [well, I hesitate to use the word bloated, but certainly "high cost"] for any services they provide,
and any services they provide are on top of what is supposed to be a full time job [according to the ICANN budget], which means retention of contractors, external resources, or additions of staff]. All at ICANN usual "costs". <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Stating that the ICANN Board has fiduciary responsibility, etc. is factual, but does not mean day to day oversight. And in fact, should be recognized as prohibited by the need for an independent
disbursement mechanism. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In fact, in the view of some, including the CSG and others in the public comment process, creating a mechanism with accountability, and independence from influence from Board and staff and even
community, with focus on the established criteria led to members of the community to support Mechanism C over the recommendation of Mechanism A and B. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Mechanism C remains our preferred option to present but we understand that it is possibly useful to present Mechanism A and C -- both -- as there is not agreement to a single mechanism at this
point, among those who are active representatives and participants in this work effort. And it is important for us all to understand that this has been a prolonged and intensive effort. And we are close to the end -- presenting, we hope -- two options, with
more detailed analysis and remaining questions, and then posting for our final public comment process. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Frankly, as for me, there are continued questions about the influence of the staff and even the Board from time to time on this process and whether it is appropriate to have "preferences" expressed,
which occasionally I have feared that I tetected -- e.g. the Board prefers ... etc. or senior staff think... etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I believe strongly, and advocated from when I became the CSG rep that it is essential to have a very stringent approach to fact based decision making, essential for a public service, not for profit
corporation, incorporated under California law. And an independent process that does not bring into ICANN a short term process, that is clearly not part of the core mission of ICXANN -- e.g grants management of a short term/but multi million$ fund, but one
that is not part of why we created ICANN. Creating a separate Foundation, with a separate independent Board, with perhaps two ex officio non voting members that are from the ICANN Board, and a community advisory group<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I understand that some prefer to have the function inside ICANN. That is not supported by others in the members and participants, so a compromise is submitting Mechanism A and C, but then actually
doing more due diligence as needed about each.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Statements that a separate foundation is more expensive or longer than an internal mechanism are speculative right now, but can be addressed by factual analysis. However, I do not agree that ICANN
staff have expertise in analyzing the attributes of staff or process to manage grant solutions/review/management.
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Apple Color Emoji";color:black">🙂</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> Yes, they can set up separate bank accounts, and do other forms of administrative reporting, and of course, would have to be
paid for at the usual ICANN [which is quite generous} fee basis. BUT, the background, experience, and skills to do grant solicitation,award/evalation is different. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Recently an experienced colleague in grants management told me he managed a $80M grant which was dispersed in a 9 month announcement, award selection, then performance of 1 year period, with a
second year management/evulation process, and described the overhead and reports. Another colleague told me about a $190M grant process -- again, dispursement/oversight/evaluation within a 3 year period. These are not trivial tasks, and the overhead is what
some might think is high, but is based on what kind of evaluation is required, and whether it is a grant to do something, or a grant to effect a major change. One might be light assessment- a) hold a meeting with 50 people/address training in DNSSEC, 40 of
those invited attended/ 35 received the credentials, etc. etc. versus: establish a multi year, multi country training program in capacity building in DNS issues and successfully bring in 200 attendees per year, with XX changes in skills at national level.

on many parts. That is NOT the purpose of the CCWG-AP, and probably a misunderstanding by staff when they encouraged attending the CCWG-AP session but it is important to understand that this public comment includes a clear understandable statement that this
is not a slush fund; it is not up to the ICANN Board to direct; it must be independently managed and not put ICANN's integrity, or tax status, or anti trust status at risk by any even suspicion. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
