==Initial Report and Public Comment==
The working group completed its initial report in October 2018.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/CWGONGAP/Initial+Report+Drafting CCWG-Auction Proceeds Workspace - Initial Report Drafting]</ref> The Initial Report listed four possible mechanisms for disbursement of auction proceeds, focusing on two specific options:
<ol type="A">
<li>Creation of an internal ICANN department dedicated to grant processing and awards; </li>
<li>Partnership with an existing nonprofit organization, such as a donor-advised fund; </li>
<li>Creation of an ICANN Foundation; or </li>
<li>Delegation of grant processing and award to an external entity, with the ICANN board retaining oversight of mission focus and adherence to the board's fiduciary duties.</li><ref name="initial">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initial-08oct18-en.pdf ICANN.org Archive - CCWG-Auction Proceeds Initial Report], October 8, 2018</ref>
</ol>
The initial report noted that Mechanism D was largely theoretical, and if an attempt to implement the mechanism occurred, it would likely look substantially similar to Mechanism B. As a result, the group specifically recommended that the board choose between Mechanisms A and B, and welcomed community input on Mechanism C.</ref name="initial" />
Public comment on the initial report was extensive.<ref>[https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/comments-new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initial-08oct18/2018q4/thread.html ICANN Listserv Archive - Public Comment Submissions, CCWG-Auction Proceeds Initial Report], November 20 - December 17, 2018</ref> <ref name="reportinitpc">[https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/auction-proceeds/report-comments-new-gtld-auction-proceeds-initial-17dec18-en.pdf Report on Public Comments - CCWG-Auction Proceeds Initial Report], December 17, 2018</ref>
