RE: [registrars] FW: Budget Advisory Group Selection for 2004-2005

["Michael D. Palage" <michael@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

A couple of comments.

First, the budget process is very important and the three representatives
you have nominated are well qualified and I believe that each would well
represent the constituency.

Second, I would encourage the constituency to have more diverse
representatives participating in different committees. I know it is
difficult for some registrars trying to run their businesses to devote these
resources, however, it is vitally important to have a broad cross section of
participation. That was why I was glad to see Rob nominate Tim and Brian. I
have been very pleased to see GoDaddy taking an increasing more active role
in GNSO issues. As one of the largest ICANN accredited registrars is this a
positive development. I am also glad to see Brian Cute similarly step up to
the plate since NSI was liberated from VeriSign.

Best regards,

Michael D. Palage

I would like to nominate a few people to the budget committee:  Elana
Broitman, Brian Cute and Tim Ruiz.

To my knowledge, all three have shown an interest in the budget discussions
in the past, and I think they would make excelent reps on this committee.

I know in the past we have typically tried to have a Registrar rep from a
large, medium and small Registrar, and I realize that these are all three
large Registrars, but I want to nominate them anyway, as I think they would
all be great (and who knows, we may not have many other nominations from
small or medium sized Registrars).

I have no idea if they will accept the nominations, but I would encourage
them to, as the budget is a serious matter that effects us all and often
gets overlooked.

Rob.

All - per the attached note, we need to elect 3 representatives to this
year's Budget Advisory Committee.  Last year's representatives were:

Elana Broitman [register.com - Accredited Registrars]
Paul Stahura [eNom - Accredited Registrars]
Rick Wesson [Alice's Registry - Accredited Registrars]

As soon as someone is nominated, we can begin the election process.  I would
encourage people to consider running for these positions, particularly if
you have the time to devote staying on tope of the budget process and
scrutinizing the draft budget.  This is the year to see ICANN make a real
change, so it is a critical time to be involved.

Thank you,

The budget process for ICANN's 2004-2005 budget is beginning, and as you
know, one of the important components of this process is the feedback which
we receive from the constituencies.   Paul Twomey has asked me to contact
you regarding formation of this year's Budget Advisory Group.  This group,
which is made up of representatives of the various constituencies, advises
the CEO on issues affecting ICANN's budget.  Please forward to me the names
and e:mail addresses of the individuals who will represent your constituency
as soon as a selection has been made.  We very much appreciate the
opportunity to hear from your constituency.  Thank you for participating in
this process.
