[Gnso-sc-budget] [council] Draft of Public Comments - ICANN's Draft FY19 Budget and Ops Plan

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your comments and close read of the draft statement.

From what I understand, and please correct me if I am mistaken, you do not support a reduction in the size of the fellowship or NextGen programmes at this time, and would like proper measurement tools to be in place to measure the ROI of these initiatives.

Would the following edits in red satisfy your concerns?

The GNSO Council supports ICANN in its efforts to evaluate the future of becoming more fiscally prudent inall of its capacity development programmes, including the Fellowship programme, NextGen at ICANN programme, Global Indigenous Ambassador programme, and Community Onboarding programme. We support their proposed reductions in size andencourage ICANN to continue assessing the benefits of these programmes in terms of bringing active participants into the ICANN community relative to their cost. If there is doubt as to their benefits, we ask that ICANN refrain from further investments in these initiatives until such time as appropriate metrics, developed in consultation with the broader ICANN community, can be introduced

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Ayden

> I am sorry, but this draft disregards both of my oppositions towards the point of supporting the reduction of the fellowship and implying it is not fiscal prudent as it is,  nor if they should stop or not the program. I commented both in the call and in the draft itself. I support that we debate and seek for better measurement tools to understand the cost benefit, but I do not support this preemptive conclusion before even using the tools we are demanding to have.
