Thank you.

Xavier
Just reading over this and a few comments / concerns.
It sounds like this expenditure is being viewed as a fait accompli and it’s really case of moving things around to work out how it will be funded, which seems a bit backwards. How can you agree on the expenditure for a project without knowing how you will fund it?
The reserves are already depleted and there doesn’t appear to be any firm plan on how those reserves will be restored, unless I missed something. Yet the expenditure keeps growing.
The legal fees are again ridiculously high. How does ICANN select vendors for these kind of services? Is there a tender process? Is there an RFP?
Regards
Michele

Dear all,
Please find attached an extract from the final FY17 Budget document relative to the IANA Stewardship transition (Section 4), currently under review, prior to Board consideration for approval in Helsinki.
You may remember that the Draft budget document submitted for public comment did not include information on the FY17 expenses for this project. The Project Cost Support Team created in Marrakech has been working with the BFC, the CCWG, CWG, ICG co-chairs and involved staff to estimate the draft project’s expenses for FY17. These draft estimates have been included in the attached section (total $8.8m, page 3/10).
Though offered late in the process, as these estimates are under review, your comments and questions on this section are welcome.
Thank you.
Best,
Xavier
