<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2>Dear Review Team,<br>
We fully appreciate the importance of your work as well as the need for
fiscal accountability and transparency. <br>
Below is a summary of actual and forecast expenditures as compared to the
ATRT 2 budget for the current fiscal year 2014. The
additional, un-planned Washington DC trip would put ATRT 2 approximately
$20,000 over budget. This calculation is based on a careful
analysis and forecast of ATRT 2 expenditures for this fiscal year.<br>
Staff proposed several options to the Chair and Vice Chairs to address
the funding shortfall. These are noted below. With the indication
that the Team chairs believe that both the DC and Buenos Aires in-person
meetings must go forward, staff will seek budget approval for this
option, while striving to be fiscally responsible. This entails:
<ul>
<li>ATRT 2 uses conference call facilities and emails to accomplish work
between now and Buenos Aires (as is expected of all community groups);
<li>Hold a two-day face to face meeting in Washington DC on 19-20
September (ATRT2 budget to cover arrival 18 Sept, departure 20 September,
where feasible)
<li>Prepare for Buenos Aires via phone/email in advance; hold 2 days of
meetings in Buenos Aires (ATRT2 budget to cover arrival on Monday, 18
November, meetings with SOs / ACs / Board on Tuesday &
Wednesday, departure on Wed night/Thursday morning -- or longer stays
funded by other sources)
</ul>We greatly appreciate your cooperation in meeting our budget
obligations and conducting this Team's work.<br>
.....<br>
Potential options:
<ul>
<li>Option 1 – Bring members who have an assigned issue and who are
involved in writing of the report to Washington DC, and the remainder of
the team has full remote participation (approach used by other Review
Teams & groups); this would enable the team to hold a Washington DC
meeting and attend ICANN Buenos Aires meeting in person without
additional budget requests.
<li>Option 2 – Include a limited number of people physically at the ICANN
Buenos Aires meeting and the remainder of the team has full remote
participation (approach used by other Review Teams & groups); this
would enable the full team to physically be in Washington DC
without additional budget requests.
<li>Option 3 – use conference call facilities and emails to accomplish
work between now and Buenos Aires and forego a physical meeting in
Washington DC</font>

As discussed during our meeting in Los Angeles last week, ATRT2 will need
to meet toward the end of September for a 2 day face-to-face
meeting. The purpose of the face-to-face meeting will be to reach
conclusions on the draft Recommendations that ATRT2 will put out for
public comment in mid-October. The value of face-to-face
discussions at this juncture of our work is important to reach fact-based
consensus conclusions to put our for comment. With respect to the
ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires, this is a final opportunity to meet with
the S.O.s and A.C.s to hear directly from them with respect to ICANN's
acceptability and transparency and the ATRT2 Report and
Recommendations. We hope that there is sufficient budget to allow
this work of the ATRT2 to be completed.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Brian<br>
