New gTLD Auction Proceeds discussion paper

[Patrick Jones <patrick.jones@xxxxxxxxx>]

The discussion paper includes a number of references to prior ICANN meetings 
and public comments where the use of auction proceeds has been raised, 
including community suggestions and examples. The paper is missing a reference 
to prior work from 2008 on the proposed allocation framework for 
single-character second-level domains, see 
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/proposed-scsld-allocation-framework-2008-06-13-en.
 The Synthesis paper developed from this discussion in 2008 incorporated prior 
public comments on potential uses of funds (see Section V), which may be good 
to review and include as this current work is considered by the community.
