[Gnso-sc-budget] [v0.6] Latest draft of our comment on the FY19 Budget

I think this draft is much more robust, so thanks for your work on it.

One item that we may need to mention is in relation to additional support for specific PDPs. As you know the RDS PDP got legal advice a few months ago and there has been “chatter” about further advice being required. This is not an isolated incident and will probably happen with other PDPs.
The amount of progress that can be made in a “face to face” meeting, which has been piloted over the last couple of years can be considerable and is a better use of resources in my opinion than having a PDP WG drag on for aeons.
So I guess the “ask” is that we make sure that the budget comment clearly underlines the fact that policy development and management is a key activity and needs to be supported properly. While some can be planned well in advance, there will be some ad hoc requests as well.

Regards

Michele

Subject: [Gnso-sc-budget] [v0.6] Latest draft of our comment on the FY19 Budget

Dear all,

I have prepared a new draft of our comment on the FY19 Budget. I would appreciate it if you could please review the attached file, and make suggested edits to the new Google Doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_nHcEqywxlkoChuUlUorK2BcRrF7mvn-fl-lNJNOrag/edit?usp=sharing

Please note that I have not resolved edits in the original Google Doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ijZ0bKNxjD8tvM3I5TNZGQ71FJF1zkgoydROCFuFETE/edit?usp=sharing>; there were so many comments and I did not want to delete any in case we need to refer back to these inputs. Note in particular the new angle that I have taken with CROP; I now raise only the process question, and Martin, please check the suggested edits to the bullet point on the fellowship. I have not removed the bullet point on language services however I have edited it slightly to make it clearer that we are supporting the staff proposal to slimline this spend. Finally, I have removed the bullet on the GDD Summit and NCPH Intersessional.

I hope this version of our comment resolves many of the suggested edits, comments, and concerns that have been raised over the past 48 hours.

If it doesn't, I would appreciate it if you could make some suggested edits directly to the new Google Doc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_nHcEqywxlkoChuUlUorK2BcRrF7mvn-fl-lNJNOrag/edit?usp=sharing>, or comment on this list. Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Ayden
