Thu Dec 7 21:05:34 UTC 2017

Hi All,

This is just a reminder for input into the draft version of the charter for
the SCBO.  I've attached the draft charter and draft motion for your
convenience.  We have until Monday 11 December at 23:59 to submit this for
GNSO Council consideration.

Also, we need someone from this group to volunteer to speak to this at the
next GNSO Council meeting, and we also need someone that will submit the
motion in time for the deadline.

SCBO Agenda - 11 December 2017 - 14:00 UTC

1)      Introduction of tasks

2)      Review draft Charter and motion

a.       Discuss process of SCBO comments for Council vs. SGs/Cs

b.      Discuss Call for Volunteers from SG/C to participate as subject
matter experts

3)      Setup next meeting in preparation for ICANN's FY19 Draft Budget &
Ops plan

Thank you.

Hi All,

Please find attached the next iteration of the draft charter for SCBO.  We
have until 11 December to submit this draft and the motion for the GNSO
Council to consider at its 21 December meeting.

A few points:

.         The latest draft (*.docx) has now been imported into the standard
GNSO Charter template.  Given the structural differences from the prior
draft to the charter template, you will see a substantial amount of changes.

1.       gnso-council-budget-charter_v0.6.3_clean.docx - is a clean version
of the latest draft.  It might be best to start your review with this
version.

2.       gnso-council-budget-charter_v0.6.3.docx - is a version showing
tracked changes as soon as the content from v0.6 was imported.  This should
show you suggested changes from staff in terms of importing the content and
an attempt to model this charter after the SSC that was adopted by the
Council earlier this year.

3.       gnso-council-budget-charter_v0.6.docx - is the last version prior
to import into the GNSO Charter template.  This is mostly as a reference so
that you can see where content was imported from.

4.       gnso-council-sc-budget-motion_v0.2.docx - this is a first draft of
the proposed motion for the GNSO Council.  It is also modeled after the SSC
motion.

As stated in the thread below, most of the deliberation will likely occur on
the mailing list.  However, staff is happy to setup a call for 11 December
at 14:00 UTC in case any verbal discussions be required.  In fact, I will
have the GNSO Secretariat schedule the meeting.  It will be easier to cancel
if it is not required but at least reserves a spot on your calendars.

Please let me  know if you have any questions in the meantime.

Thank you.

Hi All,

New acronym:  Standing Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO)

We just finished meeting with Council leadership and it looks like the
standing committee motion to get the SCBO formed will occur in December and
not January.  This will allow the group to become properly chartered before
the FY19 Budget is released an open for public comments.  It will also allow
for a call for volunteers to the SG/C leadership for any budget subject
matter experts to also participate on the SCBO (note you'll see content in
the draft charter about this).

In prep for the GNSO Council meeting on 21 Dec, we now have several actions
to complete:

1.       I will send the next version of the draft charter to the group
tomorrow.  Staff has imported the draft into the standard GNSO Charter
template.

2.       By Wednesday, I will also send a draft of the motion to adopt the
SCBO.  Note that this will contain an option for the Council to re-review
this charter post public comments on the FY19 Budget (similar to what
occurred to the SSC).

3.       Items #1 & #2 need to be submitted on 11 December 2017 at 23:59.
This will still allow the SCBO to make other changes to the Charter, if need
be, up to a few days prior to the Council call.

4.       Things to consider on the draft charter:

a.       Comments coming from the Council are to avoid conflicts and
compliment SG/C comments.  How can this be avoided similar to what was
experienced with Reserve Fund comment submitted last week?  Can the GNSO
create an artificial due date for SGs/Cs to allow the SCBO to finalize its
comments before the deadline?  Can the Council ask for an extension to the
comment period (note this will be difficult given tight timelines for budget
approval), can conflicts be avoided and complimentary positions be
formulated with the SMEs that might participate on the SCBO?  Questions to
consider when reviewing the next draft.

b.      How should SG/C SMEs be designated to participate on the SCBO?  Is
it as simple as trusting a direct response from an interested community
member?  Or, should it be more formal as the respective ExComms designate
someone via their leadership?  Note that this is NOT an open WG.  I will
send around a draft of the CfV later in the week.

5.       We also need a volunteer from this group who can speak to the
Council when this comes up on the agenda on the 21st.  This group is still
informal and a Chair and/or Liaison has not been designated as of yet.  Who
would be interested?

I suspect getting the SCBO together for another meeting is not likely this
week.  Thus items #1 & #2 will have to take place on the mailing list.
However, would you consider trying to find a time the week of the 11th?
Would perhaps Monday 11 December at 14:00 UTC be possible?

Thank you for your attention to this and apologies for such a lengthy email.
