Welcome to the CCWG New gTLD Auction Proceeds call on Wednesday, 25 March 2020 at 14:00 UTC.

34:10
hi all

37:56
it is done already

38:26
what is done

46:36
I think Sam’s interpretation is correct

46:51
There may have been an issue with the formulation of the question

47:17
Agree - the Board should probably not have been referenced

48:05
Alan, the unmute issue makes for better Bingo! ;-)

48:37
Alan if you use the audio from computer or tablet you only have to unmute in one place

49:07
THe confusing language is "including the approval of allocation of auction proceeds" - allocation is normally a budget term and we have to clarify that EC powers are not diminished as to the overall Budget item

49:53
I agree with Sam point

50:18
@Judith, I use the phone and normally mute locally. Sometimes there is interference from the phone line itself and I get muted in Zoom.

50:25
THank you Erika

50:52
there is a MAC-shortcut to unmute: [COMMAND] [SHIFT] [A]

51:03
Hello. I am on another call at this time. Will attempt to follow the chat.

51:30
On a PC, it is ALT-A

53:42
Reconsideration is staff and Board

53:56
I have the same view as legal response express

54:09
IRP does not extend to contractors. It is about whether ICANN followed its Bylaws/Mission

55:40
@Sam, is that clear? Normally you cannot absolve yourself of responsibilities by sub-contracting.

56:31
@Alan, if ICANN improperly relies on actions taken by a subcontractor, then you challenge ICANN’s action, not the subcontractor’s action

56:59
I don’t believe there is currently language in the proposed Final Report addressing the Empowered Community

57:07
+1 Sam

57:21
This may be something that the leadership team needs to take back and propose language to include

59:01
Agreed Sam. That was exactly the motive. Our concern was that the accountability measures might not be a reasonable way to mitigate grant refusals, but that alone would not necessarily stop someone from trying!

59:19
will be good if Sam come with more clear words

01:00:52
that is what we need to clarify - that EC overall budget powers are not limited

01:02:44
Sorry, Erika, I wrote that before Sam spoke

01:04:59
Remember the other item.

01:09:38
We’d want to coordinate with Xavier on any language that addresses specific budget items

01:10:16
Suggest "For the sake of clarity, the recommended ByLaws amendment is not intended to affect the powers of the EC over the overall Budget as expressed in the current ByLaws".

01:14:53
Thank you.

01:15:35
thanks Erika

01:15:37
@Anne, we probably want to make it a bit broader to reflect that the EC powers are broader than just over the budget, but I think that your language is a good starting point

01:15:59
Thanks Sam

01:19:28
Do we really need to be reviewing the polite intros to each comment??

01:20:30
Agree with Leadership recommendation

01:20:45
+ 1 with leadership rec

01:21:19
i agree with Alan

01:23:04
i raise the green signal..

01:25:33
Looks fine as to timeline barring other force majeure issues

01:26:05
Thank you everyone, and stay safe!

01:26:09
thanks everyone!

01:26:14
Thanks everyone —stay well!

01:26:14

01:26:18
