[Gnso-sc-budget] Agenda - 19 Feb 2018 - SCBO Meeting - 14:00 UTC

[Ayden Férdeline]

Thank you very much for preparing this agenda and these materials, Berry.

All - as you may remember, per our [working timeline](http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-sc-budget/2018-February/000114.html) we are due to submit a working draft of our comment on the FY19 Budget to the GNSO Council for its review on Monday.

In order for this to happen I hope that we will have a large attendance on our next call for wordsmithing and debate. Particularly if you cannot make the call, please can you review the draft comment, make any suggested edits you would like to see, and share your thoughts on our mailing list ahead of time. Thank you!

Kind regards,

Ayden

Note that this is only reorganized at the Portfolio level and that that underlying projects attached to a module may not have a direct correlation to its respective module.

> This document is in response to the SCBO Chairs’ request to understand elements of the budget that were no longer included in FY19 as it pertains to the GNSO.  As Xavier noted, the allocations to projects and number of projects have changed greatly and made the comparison challenging.  The document first compares the FY18 Adopted Budget to the Draft FY18 at the portfolio level of Goal 1.3, which is mostly Policy Development related.  The next section attempts to identify project that changed in expense and/or no longer exist in the FY19 Draft Budget.  While at the project level, there are changes to the number of projects, most of the resources are consolidated into a shorter number of projects for FY19.  In short, there’s a reduction to 1.3 by appx. $900K ($200K CROPP & $700K Prof. Svcs).  Note there are other projects across the budget that do impact the GNSO.  For example, GDD contains IRTs of GNSO policies; MSSI has the CCT & other Reviews.  Should the SCBO wish to see the FY18 to FY19 deltas for these other projects, it will take more time to complete that task.
