Re: [council] ICANN Draft FY16 Operating Plan & Budget

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Volker,

Apologies about taking so long to respond to this thread. I just wanted to note 
that I agree with you on both counts — funding of staff support and the need to 
perform outreach to knowledgable experts who will assist in informing upcoming 
PDPs.

I would be happy to work with you on this.

Thanks.

Amr
