    Dear FBSC members

    In a recent CPWG meeting it was discussed that time spent on policy issues
    appeared to be crowded by discussions that were not really policy. This
    included finance topics which are really the responsibility of the FBSC.

    Traditionally the FBSC has really only met to look at the annual ABRs to be
    submitted to the ICANN Finance at budget allocation time. However the fine
    print at the top of the FBSC page, explains the full extent of the FBSC
    role which in the past we have not undertaken. Therefore, bowing to the
    increasing pressure that the CPWG is operating under, we need to share this
    load.

    The tasks of the FBSC include, but are not limited to:

       - Coordination of annual additional budget requests from the ALAC and
       RALOs, to go into the yearly ICANN budget
       - Drafting any statement related to the ICANN budget process
       - Drafting any statement related to the ICANN strategic process
       - Drafting any statement regarding ICANN operating plan
       - Issues involving the Constituency Travel budget

    This proves that the CPWG is correct in their suggestion that finance
    issues would be better served by the FBSC. We need to discuss the issues
    and to create a statement on behalf of At-Large for public comment.  This
    statement will then go to the CPWG for further comment before submitting a
    finalised version to the Finance Team.

    Our first topic of conversation will be "*Fiscal Year 2021 budget for
    Public Technical Identifiers*". To help us to understand what is required
    of us, ICANN is providing webinars to explain it all and to offer you a
    chance to ask questions (see below). This webinar will thus give us some
    background on what we will need to know before our discussion.

    I am hoping that our At-Large expert on PTI and other topics, Alan
    Greenberg, will also accept an invitation to join us in any discussions we
    have on this topic.

    A doodle will go out to you shortly so that we can coordinate our first
    policy meeting. Look forward to seeing you there. :)

    Maureen

    Colleagues,

    We are beginning the process to develop the Fiscal Year 2021 budget for
    Public Technical Identifiers, which comprises the costs of delivering the
    IANA functions as well as other associated expenses from July 2020 through
    June 2021.

    As part of the process we are holding a kick-off webinar. The short webinar
    will briefly explain the process and timeline, and provide a set of
    planning assumptions for feedback from the community. We will then have an
    opportunity to provide comment either on the webinar, or via email
    afterward. At this stage our focus is on any adjustments to the planning
    assumptions, as well as identifying upcoming priorities we should focus on
    for the IANA functions.

    The preliminary feedback we receive from these webinars and other
    engagements will influence a draft budget that will be put for a formal
    public comment period later this year. Therefore, this is not the only
    opportunity for the community to provide feedback.

    The webinar is open to anyone interested, and we'd encourage you to share
    this invite as you see fit.

    The webinar will be held twice to cater for different time zones, as
    follows:

    any questions.
