Dear Nirmol: Happy to oblige. The document is attached. With respect to allocations for APRALO, as I have stated in other places previous practice has not been to specify anything by region. This is for two reasons: 1) ICANN does not budget by regions, and 2) there has been no regional input received on budgeting at any point in the past. There is no impediment to doing so however, to the extent that regional budget proposals are received. As to the 'parameters followed in approving the budget' I refer you to the previous recordings of discussions by Doug Brent and others on the budgeting process which can be found on the ALAC wiki at st.icann.org/ alac and to the bylaws of ICANN, which lay out a number of elements of the budget development process. There is also excellent materials on the operations planning, strategic planning, and the nexus of these two on budgeting which can be found in the www.icann.org/meetings subsections for the last few ICANN meetings, as well as the published draft strategic and operational planning also online at www.icann.org. Please accept my apologies for not providing detailed URLs for all these references, but I'm unfortunately returning from several days off ill after the holidays and sadly as a consequence quite backed up with work :( On 3 Jan 2008, at 11:10, nirmol xxxx wrote:
Hi Nick,
I would like to remind you to forward us (the Budget WG), last year's Budget to help us in finalising the one for the current financial year.
I would also appreciate if you can let us know the budgetary allocation made by ICANN for APRALO activities and what parameters are followed in aproving the budget?
As you would appreciate that since a lot of work and proposals are lined up for executions but for the availability of adequate funds the above information would help us in priortising the mechanics of the same.
Looking forward to an early reply on the matter.
Regards,
Nirmol
