Reminder: [Public Comment Review] NCSG Comment on Initial Report of the New gTLD Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group

[Mili]

Apologies for missing the call but thanks for the update and my views below. 

1. If the funds are used for various constituency activities then its also essential that the usage % for each is defined, and maybe where and for what they can be used. 

2. Support the idea of C.

3. Since I support C above, the establishment of the foundation itself in my opinion should act as a body that works to keep up ICANNs mission.

(The options are A - internal ICANN department, B - ICANN partners with an existing, external charitable organization, C - new and independent ICANN Foundation is established, D - external entity receives and administers the funds.) C strikes me as the best option here given it removes ICANN org's tentacles from the funds, but I understand the CCWG-AP is recommending options A or B.
