<div dir="auto">Effectively the answers say ' we took the money ' from the budget, and such an answer does not seem to be right. I really hope that total lack of figures in it does not mean that the person in charge does not know how much. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Please request the clarifications on the provided answer from Theresa Swinehart, with copy to Xavier Calvez:<br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">1. Please provide us with the project ID numbers (identification of the project in the Budget) for the spendings related to the Evolution of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model project. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">2. Please provide the amount in US dollars ( quantifiable), spent as of 12SEP2019 for this project and the anticipated amount, in US dollars to be spent by the end of the FY (current ICANN's financial year), as figures, in thousands, with breakdown, where professional services are shown as separate numbers. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">3.Please provide the anticipated amount in US dollars ( quantifiable), to be spent in the next FY (next ICANN's financial year), as figures in thousands, with breakdown, where professional services are shown as separate numbers. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">4.Please be aware that these clarifing questions are not questions for the webinar or public comments (for the avoidance of doubt), but the request form the GNSO Council member and answers are expected to be sent to the GNSO Council in the written form (e-mail). <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">P. S: I do believe that the ability to calculate the amount spent on a particular ICANN project is important for accountability and transparency. <br><br></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thank you for the questions about the Evolution of ICANN’s Multistakeholder Model project. The project derives from ICANN’s Strategic Plan; specifically the strategic objective on governance, which stems from
community input during trend identification exercises. The project is on track to conclude shortly after ICANN66, with the publication of a work plan outlining issues affecting the effective and efficient functioning of ICANN’s MSM, which groups will address
those issues, how and by when. The work plan will be published for public comment in conjunction with ICANN’s Five-Year Operating and Financial Plan, which itself will be open for public comment in late 2019.</span></p><p></p>

period</a> recently opened to gather community feedback on the issues to be addressed in the work plan, including whether the issues are already addressed by other solutions that are either being developed or are being implemented; what solutions may be developed
if no solution exists; which group (community, Board or org) should be tasked with developing a solution; and how the issue ought to be prioritized.</span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This project is funded from the FY20 adopted budget. The MSSI team is providing support, including help with hosting webinars, ICANN meeting sessions, posting documents and communications for public comment,
etc.</span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We hope the GNSO community will participate, and we hope they will find the two <a href="https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2019-08-27-en">webinars</a> held on 11 and 12 September on the public comment
proceedings helpful regarding any questions they may have.</span></p><p></p>
