up the issue of the consistently under-funded compliance department despite our
continued calls for funding an effective team (and the CEO’s – both past and
present - continued unfulfilled assurances)? We have so many historical
documents on this particular issue that the letter to the Board and CEO could
be a recap of those docs with a request to clarify to the Community how and why
the Compliance budget has been reduced at this most critical time in ICANN’s
history.</span></font></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">This
year has been very different from previous as the new CEO has implemented a new
project management system called ATASK.</span></font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Finance
Staff have been busy setting this up and inputting data. </span></font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">As
a result there was no Framework Budget in February so the info in the draft
Budget is new to the community.</span></font></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">The
format this year is different, instead of 80 pages of document it is more
12 pages of glossy introduction and the rest tables. </span></font></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Problem
for us now is that programmes are different from projects, so any year on year
comparison is impossible. </span></font></p>

struggle a bit with the programme titles which read to me more like job

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I
think the work ahead in the BC comment is to go through the 160 programmes and
ask ourselves what is this? If we don’t understand pose the
question.</span></font></p>
