[council] ICANN Draft FY16 Operating Plan & Budget

[Jonathan Robinson]

Volker,

When the RySG reviewed the Council agenda for the forthcoming (16 April) meeting, it was commented that you will need to specifically request relevant detail if you wish to review the budget in this way.

Please can you confirm whether or not the budget (as currently formulated) contains sufficient detail to support this conversation? It will be very helpful if you can answer this in advance of (or at least during) tomorrow's GNSO Council Call.

Many thanks.


Jonathan

Dear fellow coucillors,

noting that ICANN has a few weeks ago posted the Draft budget for the FY
16 for public comment. In as much as it may affect our role as the manager of the policy development process, there may be potential for the council to participate as well.

At the last meeting, we noted that the funding of the staff support for the policy making function of ICANN, i.e. the main role of the GNSO seemed rather low.

I also noted that the outreach for new stakeholder participation seems to focus on academic and educational targets, whereas I would suggest ore expert knowledge from more practically oriented fields might be helpful, such as inviting and offering to fund data protection officials for participatory roles.

I propose we review the draft budget with respect to its effect on our role and consider responding with a joint comment, if needed.
