All,

Just as a reminder, Ed & Staff will finalize the list of Clarifying
Questions appended to this draft public comment to Finance by 23:00 UTC 15 April. Should you or the group you represent have any more to add, please 
send them our way so that we can add them to the list.
As noted by Marika below, there will also be upcoming webinars scheduled by Finance for each SO/AC to further explain the draft FY17 Budget and ask for any additional questions. We expect those announcement to be out early next 
week.

Thank you.

To add to Mary¹s response, the objective of the discussion is also to
identify any additional questions that may exist in relation to the budget documents. The Finance Team has indicated that they are open to receiving any clarifying questions which they will attempt to answer prior to the closing of the public comment period so that these can be considered as part of the development of input for the public comment forum. On the last page of the draft you will already find a number of questions that were 
identified by members of the small team. If there are additional
questions, you are encouraged to provide these so that these can get
added. The hope is that the responses to the questions as well as feedback received on the current draft will allow for finalisation of the comment 
via the mailing list and submission in time for the 30 April deadline.
Please note that the Finance Team is also in the process of scheduling
calls with the different communities that have and/or will submit comments 
following the close of the public comment forum to 'enhance the
understanding of the comments and so improve the quality of the response' 
(see https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2016-04-12-en).

Best regards,

Marika

Hello Amr and everyone,
There is no motion to be voted on with respect to this topic. This was also the case last year, when the Council also submitted a comment on the 
FY16 Budget. The idea here is that the Council will discuss the draft
that was prepared by the small team at this call, with a view toward
finalizing any comments and changes via the email list subsequently but in good enough time to submit the final comment by the 30 April deadline.
FYI, while the GNSO Council will need a motion on any matter for which it is required to vote (e.g. PDP-related topics), the Council does have the ability to take action without a motion or voting on other matters. As 
you may recall, this has been done a number of times with respect to
non-PDP and such topics for which is vote is not specifically required. 

I hope this helps.

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Hi,
Ed, James, Carlos and KeithŠ, thank you very much for this. I can¹t 
imagine that getting this done was particularly easy.
I was wondering how we would be handling this on tonight¹s Council call. It is listed as an agenda item for Council approval on on the Council 
meeting agenda
(https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Agenda+14+April+
2016), but not listed as a motion to be voted on
(https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+14+April
+2016). So I¹m not entirely clear on what the outcome of this agenda 
item is meant to be. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Amr

My Fellow Councillors,
You will recall at our ICANN55 Council meeting, a small team (James, Carlos, Keith, myself) volunteered to formulate draft comments relating to ICANN's proposed Draft FY17 operating plan and budget. Attached you 
will find a starter draft of comments for the Council to consider.
Track changes are enabled should any member of the Council wish to
suggest edits. Please feel to do so and then send them back over the list. This small team with assistance from staff will maintain a master 
copy to ready for submission.

The Public Comments are due by 30 April 2016, and thus we have just
over two weeks to make edits and then determine if the Council wishes to submit them. This topic is currently on the GNSO Council agenda for tomorrow. The small team also recognizes that likely all SGs & Cs will be submitting their own comments. In that regard and because we are 
managers of the policy process, this draft of comments attempted to
only focus at a higher level of how the proposed budget impacts the
GNSO and its policy development activities.

This process for submitting comments mimics what occurred last year
for the FY16 draft budget.  Once that draft was completed over the
Council list, the comments were submitted without objection.  As we
will likely discuss tomorrow and based on this current experience, the 
Council should consider formalizing this process especially in the
light of a future empowered community.
In addition to thanking James, Carlos and Keith with whom it has been a pleasure to work with, special thanks go out from all of us to Berry 
and Marika for their exceptional input and dedicated effort on this
comment. We are extraordinarily lucky to have such fine staff assigned 
to help us on Council.

We looks forward to everyone's input.

Kind Regards,

Ed Morris
