What are the costs you're talking about? Looking at past auction proceeds<https://links9.mixmaxusercontent.com/aMjjKHWxnLSD3SEwj/l/jAOjQGVrCV1bw6Aby?messageId=CzRzo0ZHvRMiBWE8l&rn=IyUTV1QTlERtc0UD5kI&re=gI1RWZuIXez5idyV2c0NXasB0UTV1QTlERtc0UD5kI>, the auctioneer Power Auctions LLC doesn't appear to be taking a cut of more than 0.25%. Which would suggest ICANN is getting at least $130 million here. I might be mistaken, however! Happy to be corrected if so.

the auctioneer gets a chunk of that 135M, can't recall the % tho, but ICANN doesn't get the full 135M.

There has to be at least $250 million in there now, if not more? It would be great to hear from our colleagues on the New gTLD Auction Proceeds Drafting Team as to where in their work plan they are at. These funds could be truly transformative for different stakeholder groups and projects if suitably allocated…
Thanks,

Auction reserve fund stands at a little over 100m USD as of today.

Hi James,
Thanks for raising awareness of this. I am very interested in the outcome of this topic as well, as I understand there is at least $60m in funds currently on hand from auction proceeds (a figure inevitably going to grow). I need not mention how transformative this could be for different stakeholder groups and projects if suitably allocated. Who is representing the NCSG on the drafting team for this exceptional situation?
Best wishes,
Ayden

This is critical work and I want to make sure we are giving sufficient input into this process.
