[Gnso-sc-budget] Request for table of discontinued core activities / projects

[Ayden Férdeline]

Dear Xavier,

Thank you for seeking clarification. I am simply seeking a table or series of bullet points that makes it clear which core, recurring activities were budgeted for in FY18 and are no longer budgeted for FY19. This does not need to be at a great level of detail; but it should make it clear, at a glance, what (if anything) has been removed from the budget. I am looking for something which would make it clear to me that, for instance, a programme like CROP had been discontinued. The intent is simply to understand what activities or support the GNSO and/or the Council have utilised in FY18 that will not be available for us in FY19.

I hope this is clearer. Please let me know if it isn't. Thanks.

Kind regards,

Ayden Férdeline

We do not have a more granular level of detail than the project in our planning and tracking structure. So any activity that is not itemized as a project is not visible that way and we do not have a data repository for it.

I think that would be very fair in the interest of transparency; we need to know if any support that the GNSO Council and/or constituencies rely on have been discontinued. Thank you!
