RE: [council] FYI - Draft letter to BFC and CCWG-ACCT Chairs, requesting webinar on Cost Control Mechansisms

["Paul McGrady" <policy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

 

I thought we agreed to ask them in our correspondence whether or not the
question of the location of ICANN's corporate formation was an open question
in WS2 so that we know how to analyze their budget (which seems very low if
we have to undo WS1  and rebuild it in another jurisdiction - and evaluate
all the possible jurisdictions for the "best" one).  Can we please include
that in our letter and ask them for a crisp "yes" or "no"?

 

Best,

Paul

requesting webinar on Cost Control Mechansisms

 

Council Colleagues -

Following from our discussions in Helsinki, please see below for a draft
letter (email) that will be sent to the BFC and the CCWG-ACCT Co Chairs.  

Please let me know if you have any questions or edits.

Thank you -

Dear Members of the Board Finance Committee, Dear CCWG-Accountability
Chairs,

On behalf of the GNSO Council, I would like to request a webinar to brief
the GNSO Council and the broader GNSO Community on the Proposed Cost Control
Mechanisms, as well as the request for validation of the CCWG-Accountability
Budget.

We appreciate the information provided by email and presented by Xavier
during the GNSO meetings in Helsinki, but the GNSO Council would appreciate
a clear overview of what, specifically, is being requested from the GNSO as
a chartering organization, along the the expected timeframe for approval. As
the next GNSO Council meeting is scheduled for 21 July, this webinar would
ideally take place well before that meeting in order to provide GNSO
Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies sufficient opportunity to review this
information, and provide instructions to their representatives at the
Council meeting. 

Otherwise, because there is no Council in meeting scheduled for August, this
topic will be taken up by the GNSO Council during its next meeting in
September.

If needed, the GNSO Secretariat is available to assist with the planning and
scheduling of the webinar.

Thank you,

 

James Bladel

GNSO Chair
