[Gnso-sc-budget] IANA Services at $600K

[Tim Smith]

Thanks Berry:

 

Based on this, I presume that the actual budget categories that make up the $600,000 would be broken out in the overall ICANN budget, with an allocation of resources to the IANA function.  That would make sense.

Subject: [Gnso-sc-budget] IANA Services at $600K

 

Hi All,

 

During today’s call, there was an action for me regarding IANA Services line item at $600K per fiscal year. I think I’ve uncovered why, but I’ve also reached out to Xavier’s team in case I get this wrong.

 

On the “draft-iana-op-budget-fy22-07oct20.pdf”, page 8 contains a summary of both the PTI and IANA Services draft budget where we see the “IANA Services” line item at $600K for FY22, FY21, and at $500K actual in FY20. Note also the footnote of “(c) IANA Services includes the Root Zone Maintainer function, Customer Standing Committee, Root Zone Evolution Committee and IANA Naming Function reviews. These costs are funded by ICANN Operations.”

 

To better understand this distinction from PTI Service, you need to reference the “draft-pti-op-budget-fy22-08oct20.pdf”, Section 5.1 on P.6,7. There it provides an overview of the interrelationships of the PTI, IANA, and ICANN Budgets along with a diagram.

 

“PTI, IANA, and ICANN. The PTI Operating Plan and Budget includes three types of resources used for the delivery of the IANA functions: direct dedicated costs are for resources fully dedicated to delivering the IANA functions; direct shared costs are for resources directly contributing to delivery of the IANA functions and shared with ICANN; and support functions are costs shared with ICANN that provide support services to PTI."

 

The question today if I recall correctly, was why is there no fluctuation to this budget line item. It is my understanding that there is little change because the actual expenses of RZM, IFRT, RZERC and CSC are not anticipated to vary from one fiscal year to the next. I do not know the exact percent, but likely the largest expense here is Personnel costs associated with supporting these four activities and perhaps second largest is Travel & Meetings.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thank you.
