[Gnso-sc-budget] Fw: Should the SCBO prepare a comment on the proposed Reserve Fund replenishment strategy?

[Ayden Férdeline]

Thank you for these comments, Marilyn.

I am awaiting further comments from members of the GNSO Council on the Council mailing list as to whether or not we should proceed with preparing a comment, and if a consensus forms, I will be sure to share this with the SCBO.

Best wishes,

Ayden

Obviously, given the complexity of ICANN's operations, it will be a lot of HR, ops, etc, but also there will be significant policy activities to be addressed during any major change, such as this.
