Tapani, I have been following this process closely (at a distance) and will continue to do so. I would be willing to backstop (help, work with) whomever is appointed to this position. I remind us that the ccWG is not about how the funds should be used, but about the mechanism that should be created to allocate the funds. The following [/*emphasis added*/] is from: https://icann572016.sched.org/event/8cy0/cross-community-new-gtld-auction-proceeds-cross-community-working-group "The ICANN community has indicated that it wants to create a Cross-Community Working Group (CCWG) to develop a proposal(s) for eventual consideration by the ICANN Board on */the mechanism that should be created/* to allocate the new gTLD Auction Proceeds."
