[council] SCBO - 2020-2021 Cycle Begins and Next Steps

Wed Oct 21 16:06:03 UTC 2020

Dear GNSO Council,

Please refer to a next steps email below that was sent recently to the SCBO
(Standing Committee on ICANN's Budget and Operations). It provides a quick
overview of what the standing committee has accomplished, changes upon us,
and a short description of what is ahead of us as ICANN org and ICANN
community transition to the next fiscal year. 

As a part of the SCBO Charter
<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/74580767/gnso-council-budg
et-charter_v1.1.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1540727828000&api=v2> , this
email acts as a call for volunteers to Councilors that may be interested in
the financial and planning aspects within ICANN's annual budget and
operations. If you are not already a member of the SCBO and interested in
these topics in general or in collaboration of your groups position on
budget and operations in the context of the GNSO Council's remit as managers
of the policy development process, an email should be sent to the GNSO
Secretariat at gnso-secs at icann.org <mailto:gnso-secs at icann.org> .  They will
enroll you to the group and notify you after doing so. 

For those Councilors already established as a member

%20WG-2020-01-15.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1579111997000&api=v2> , you
do  not need to take any action.

Thank you for your attention.

Dear SCBO Team,

I hope you enjoyed the small break away from activities related to ICANN's
budget and strategic planning in regards to the GNSO Council. The break,
though, is now over and this email is intended to restart momentum. 

You will have seen an earlier email with the announcement that the IANA/PTI
FY21 budget cycle has begun. If you look back on the GNSO Council's Project
List <https://gnso.icann.org/en/meetings/projects-list.pdf>  (towards the
bottom of the PDF), the SCBO has completed a fair amount of work over the
past few years, including the earlier days prior to this group being
formally chartered by the GNSO Council in early 2018. The "Workplan" section
of the SCBO project contains links to prior comments developed in
contribution to public comment proceedings. 

Below is a summary of activities ahead of the SCBO over the coming months.

Renewed Call for Volunteers (CfV):

1.	Shortly, staff will send a notice to the GNSO Council asking for
current members to confirm their continued participation on the SCBO and to
extend an invitation to the new incoming Councilors. The SCBO roster
<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/74580769/Roster%20-%20SCBO
%20WG-2020-01-15.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1579111997000&api=v2>
currently shows coverage across the SGs and Cs, although not in true form as
defined in the charter
<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/74580767/gnso-council-budg
et-charter_v1.1.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1540727828000&api=v2> . 
2.	In parallel, staff will send a CfV notice to the SG/C Leaders asking
them to confirm their respective SME's continued participation or to put
forward new persons interested in representing their respective group.
3.	I'm not expecting a large change to our current roster, but this
level of confirmation is required as part of the charter and hopefully we
find some new interest. We thank our outgoing Council members for their
contributions:

a.	Michele Neylon
b.	Erika Mann
c.	Rafik Dammak
d.	Keith Drazek

4.	Note: any SME members presently on the roster that are not
(re)confirmed by their respective SG/C Leadership by mid-November will be
converted to "Observer - Email Only" on the SCBO roster and mailing list.

SCBO Chair:

*	Absent objections from the GNSO Council, John McElwaine has
confirmed offline that he is willing to stand as SCBO Chair for the
2020-2021 cycle. Staff thanks him for his leadership in the last fiscal
year.

Joint Session of CCNSO (SOPC) with GNSO (SCBO):

*	In last year's cycle, the SCBO had a few collaboration sessions with
the SOPC, the CCNSO's version of their budget and operations team. We are
expecting to repeat it for the 2020-2021 cycle. I've attached the Finance
team's presentation used for ICANN69. Slide 26 contains the timeline for the
ICANN Org budget and ops plan public comment. We'll target the last week of
Jan. or first week of Feb. 2021 for the two groups to exchange positions on
the FY22 budget prior to the close of the public comment period.
*	For ICANN70, we'll likely attempt a joint session to continue
discussions around the public comment on FY22 Budget and Operating plan,
among other topics. The scheduling of the joint session has been challenging
due to competing GNSO sessions. The SOPC schedules a standing meeting on
Sunday's for ICANN meetings. We'll announce more details as we approach the
end of the year.

Please start to work with your respective leadership groups in preparation
for the renewed Call for Volunteers. 

Thank you.
