The Cross-Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds (CCWG-AP) was created to identify processes and mechanisms for allocating the proceeds of last-resort auctions of new gTLD strings where applicants in competition for a common string could not otherwise resolve ownership of the domain among themselves.[1] The group's final report was submitted to the ACs and SOs for approval in May 2020.[2] After approval from the ACs and SOs, the report was submitted to the ICANN Board on September 14, 2020[3] Maarten Botterman responded to the working group on behalf of the board on September 18, 2020, acknowledging the working group's efforts and describing the board's intended process.[4]

Objectives and Recommendations

The working group's final report specified that the objectives of the program disbursing auction proceeds should be to:

  • Benefit the development, distribution, evolution and structures/projects that support the Internet's unique identifier systems;
  • Benefit capacity building and underserved populations, or;
  • Benefit the open and interoperable Internet.[5]
