The reserve fund should not be more than 12 months.<br>

Thanks to all who contributed to this draft.<br>
<br>
<br>
Unfortunately the Council comments are inconsistent with those being prepared by the RySG and as such the Council comments could not be supported.<br>

Berry, hi -<br>
<br>
when we debated the topic in the subgroup I raised concern to increase<br>
the reserve fund level (up to 17 months). I like to repeat my concern<br>
again.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

GNSO Council Members,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
On behalf of the GNSO Council Standing Committee on ICANN’s Budget and Ops<br>
Plan (informal until Council adoption of charter), I attach here a draft of<br>
comments regarding ICANN’s Reserve Target Level for your consideration and<br>
eventual submission to the public comment forum, absent any objections from<br>
Council members. The comment submission deadline is 30 November 2017 and as<br>
such Council’s deliberation on this draft can occur via the Council’s<br>
mailing list and it will also be an agenda item on the 30 Nov Council<br>
meeting.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The standing committee met last week to discuss this topic and was also<br>
joined by Xavier Calvez, ICANN’s CFO. As agreed during that call, staff<br>
assisted the committee with developing a first draft. This draft contains<br>
two options with regards to the size of the Reserve Fund; option 1 in line<br>
with the current target as analyzed by staff and the Board Finance<br>
Committee, and option 2 that proposes an extension to 24 months of operating<br>
expenses. Please refer to the attached draft for details and the analysis<br>
paper submitted for public comment<br>

Only<br>
one comment has been submitted to date.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
On behalf of the Council Leadership and again absent any objections, staff<br>
can submit the final version of comments to the forum by 23:59 UTC, 30<br>
November 2017.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In the meantime, please let staff or Council leadership know if you have any<br>
questions about process or this draft of comments. Thank you for your<br>
attention to this matter.<br>
