Re: [council] Proposed Comment on FY17 Budget and Operating Plan
Dear James, Berry!
I think it is an impressive list of real questions. Nevertheless I had
suggested to Ed Morris to either start or end the letter with some
overarching forward looking questions about the way the GNSO is about to
face this new important role. I exchanged some ideas with Ed but I´m
not sure if he is going to make a proposal in time. I will check again
with him

Berry -
Thank you for driving this topic. Appreciate your efforts to gather
edits
and coordinate the contributions.
Council Colleagues -
Please note that the window between the time we receive a response to
our
Clarifying Questions and the comment due day (30 APR) will be quite
small—perhaps only a day or two. So if you spot anything
problematic in
this draft, or in the responses please post those thoughts to the
Council
list as soon as you can.
Thank you,
J.

All,
This is just a reminder about the FY17 Draft Budget out for Public
Comment. I've attached the latest draft version that will be
submitted
on behalf of the GNSO Council. If you have any other suggestions or
edits, please send them to the Council mail list by 23:59 UTC, Friday
29
April. I will compile the latest edits and ready the draft for
submission by James on the 30th.
Also, we did submit a few clarifying questions to the Finance team.
We
should see responses to those in the next day or so. I will forward
them
to the Council as soon as we receive them.
Thank you.

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+A
pril+ 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.

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
