As part of the ICANN Budget cycle process?

Not a process I take part in, but one that I assume deals with issues
such as how ICANN income and outgo are allocated.  Seems like a really
good exercise that I would watch with interest.  I just do not see this
topic as part of the IANA Stewardship Transition process, which should
be satisfied with a commitment  that ICANN will pay IANA's way as needed
and negotiated through transitions and beyond.  It is the price of ICANN
holding stewardship.  As between parent and ward.

The CCWG is working on the mechanisms needed to deal with ICANN budget
issues going forward, these ICANN budget allocation issues do not need
to lumped in with the transition itself.
