What are the costs you're talking about? Looking at past auction proceeds , 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.

The sale of .web has boosted the auction fund by another US$135 million. 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. Klaus and Olivie are our two reps from NCSG.

Subject: Re: Update request on Auction proceeds drafting team

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

Hi All,
Can our reps to the Auction Proceeds drafting team provide us with an update on
the work of the group? https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=58728193
This is critical work and I want to make sure we are giving sufficient input
into this process. -James
