[PC-NCSG] Fwd: A working group to develop recommendations on new gTLD auction proceeds

Wed Mar 4 15:41:26 EET 2015

All,

I too would like to be included in this working group. I have already 
submitted one proposal for how some of the new gTLD auction proceeds 
could be used. Process is as important as purpose here, and both can 
become a "swamp". My submission was one of the group that Steve Crocker 
commented on (saying they have received suggestions) in Singapore.

 From prior experience part of the task/trick is to prevent this from 
turning into a "swamp". Who is that guy who is always saying "what are 
the core values here?" :-)
