Thanks for the update Ayden.

Weren’t the Fellowship numbers actually reduced overall from previous years? I think the original proposal was to cut the numbers from 60 to 30, and it seems ICANN has split the difference based on feedback and increased 30 to 45, so overall there was a reduction in the numbers.

I’m disappointed to see the Council Strategic Planning Session reduced from 2 days to 3. This seems somewhat shortsighted as I expect the primary costs are associated with getting people to the one venue, but I guess 2 days is better than none.

Thanks again for being so diligent on the budget issues.

The final proposed FY19 Operating Plan and Budget has now been published:

Rather disappointingly, I note that, "The Fellowship Program received an increase from 30 to 45 seats per meeting, based on your feedback."

This was feedback not from the community, but from fellows, who had a vested interest in the programme's enlargement.

More relevant to the Council, our Strategic Planning Session was recommended for approval in FY19, however only for two days (rather than the three days which had been requested).
