[WP1] Budget

[Tijani BEN JEMAA]

Jordan and all,

 

As promised during the last call, here is my take regarding the community
power about the budget:

 

I notice that we are much more focusing on the Budget veto after its
adoption by the board than on the involvement of the community in the budget
development.

 

Since few years , Xavier formed a community ad hoc group to discuss the
budget preparation from the planning till the last public comment period
before transmitting the budget to the board for adoption. This experience
has been improved over the years and now, we have a very good consultation
process that makes the budget almost agreed on by the community. By the way,
the ad hoc group will have a workshop of several hours in Dublin.

 

I think that all of us wish that we will never meet the situation where an
adopted budget is rejected by the community; at least I do. And to avoid
such a situation, I proposed that we formalize the current consultation, and
make it part of the official budget development process. I find it more
important and more constructive to strengthen this a priori involvement of
the community in the budget development. I know that it was mentioned in our
second report, but wasn't given the appropriate importance and wasn't
elaborated with sufficient details.

 

I propose that our final report makes this a priori involvement of the
community the main path and the veto, that I hope we will get rid of, the
exceptional and ultimate  way.
