CWG IANA's DT-O dealing with IANA/PTI Funding looked at ways to have a very stable and predictable IANA/PTI budget. Some of us advocated to have 2 years' worth of IANA budget funding ready, of which one would be held in Escrow. This points to having a year

 was vetoed and a delay would lead to passing the Fiscal Year Deadline, the IANA operations would still be funded, introduces instability. Indeed, why would any Community want to veto the IANA Budget?<br>

The threshold for a veto of the IANA Budget could be lower than is proposed for the ICANN budget, due to its greater sensitivity.<b><i><span style="color:#1F497D">[Chuck Gomes]

If an IANA Budget was vetoed, because of the requirement for earlier Budgeting, the issue would likely be resolved before the start of the relevant financial year.<b><i><span style="color:#1F497D">[Chuck Gomes]

 Board still doesn’t act on it until late June, just before the new fiscal year starts.&nbsp; I assume the veto wouldn’t occur until after Board action so that would only leave a few days for resolution.&nbsp; Also, I suspect that it would take some time for the veto

The caretaker proposal for the IANA Budget would be that if there had been a community veto and it carried into the new financial year, funding would continue at the same level.<b><i><span style="color:#1F497D">[Chuck Gomes]

 the ICANN Budget based on perceived inconsistency with the purpose, mission and role set forth in ICANN’s Articles and Bylaws, the global public interest, the needs of ICANN stakeholders, financial stability or other matters of concern to the community. The
 CWG-Stewardship recommends that the IFO’s comprehensive costs should be transparent and ICANN’s operating plans and budget should include itemization of all IANA operations costs to the project level and below as needed. An itemization of IANA costs would
 include “Direct Costs for the IANA department”, “Direct Costs for Shared resources” and “Support functions allocation”.&nbsp;Furthermore, these costs should be itemized into more specific costs related to each specific function to the project level and below as
 needed. PTI should also have a yearly budget that is reviewed and approved by the ICANN community on an annual basis. PTI should submit a budget to ICANN at least nine months in advance of the fiscal year to ensure the stability of the IANA services. It is
 the view of the CWG-Stewardship that the IANA budget should be approved by the ICANN Board in a much earlier timeframe than the overall ICANN budget. The CWG (or a successor implementation group) will need to develop a proposed process for the IANA-specific
 budget review, which may become a component of the overall budget review.<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
