[Gnso-sc-budget] Ideas for inclusion in our comment on the FY19 budget

[Marilyn Cade]

I am not sure that we have discussed this sufficiently, Ayden.

I offer some thoughts below.
They are in italics for adds, and  [  ] for cuts.  I apologize, but until I get my replacement laptop, I am handicapped in terms of how to comment.

Hi all,

Some other thoughts that I had after reviewing the budget documents — is there support for including any of these comments in our statement? If so, I can elaborate further:


  *   [insert who we are that are speaking here] seriously question  [ oppose] ICANN’s proposal to reduce the additional budgetary request envelope by more than 50% in FY19. This will almost inevitably result in important community requests for support from across the GNSO and other SO/ACs not receiving needed funding to fulfill their engagement in outreach and on boarding new members. .

  *   who is saying this? ]thank ICANN for its continued support of the Non-Contracted Parties House Intersessional and the Contracted Parties House Global Domains Division Summit, and welcome their inclusion in the core budget for FY19.

  *   We are cognisant of the low uptake of ICANN’s language services and the high cost involved in delivering real-time interpretation. We therefore support ICANN in its efforts to focus translation and interpretation resources based on community documented need. [The Council] We  would like to help ICANN identify these needs within the GNSO Policy Council's own activities and the policy coordination activities [ projects] which we manage.

  *   We wish to express our gratitude to ICANN that the GNSO Policy Council has not been negatively impacted by the proposed cuts to the number of funded seats for constituency travellers to public ICANN meetings in FY19.   However, we recognize that the significant cuts on the additional budgetary requests will have negative impacts on the engagement of other members of the GNSO's constituencies, and as we rely on the inputs and advice and participation of the broader members of each of the constituencies, and the At Large, we foresee negative implications also impacting the policy work of the gNSO Policy Council, particularly in engagement in various working groups, where members of the Constituencies are engaging, not necessarily the gNSO Policy Councilors.


I look forward to hearing your thoughts on whether or not it would be appropriate to include any of these statements in our comment, along with any other suggested additions or observations that you may have. Thanks

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
