Hello everyone, Having not seen any reminder on the lists and having seen activity in some RALOs but not in others, this is a kind reminder that FY13 project requests for consideration by the ALAC Finance and Budget sub-committee need to be received by 10 January 2012. Please note the new template which needs to be used! In the meantime, have a good week-end. Kind regards, Olivier -------- Message original -------- Sujet: Call for At-Large Project Submissions to include in ICANN's Fiscal Year 2013 Operational Plan and Budget Date : Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:09:47 -0800 De : ICANN At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org> Pour : <alac-announce@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, <afri-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, apralo <apac-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, Discussion for At-Large Europe <euro-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, <lac-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org>, NARALO Discussion List <na-discuss@atlarge-lists.icann.org> Copie à : 'Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond' <ocl@gih.com>, ICANN At-Large Staff <staff@atlarge.icann.org> Dear All, ICANN is developing an Operational Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 to accomplish the goals and priorities of ICANN's Strategic Plan for 2012-2015 (draft version at http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-clean-... ). In preparation for this, ICANN's Finance Team has asked the ALAC to submit project requests to be budgeted in ICANN's Draft Operational Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 by 20 January 2012, giving consideration to the number of requests and to the priority of the requests. In turn, ALAC's Finance and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC; https://community.icann.org/x/n4XT ) has requested that RALOs submit their FY13 project requests for consideration by the committee by 10 January 2012. The Sub-committee would appreciate that each RALO indicate its top three projects, should more than three be submitted. As requested by ICANN's Finance Team, all FY13 project suggestions must use a template which can be found on the At-Large Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Development Workspace at https://community.icann.org/x/yofbAQ . The form asks RALOs to describe in detail the actual scope of the activity being proposed, how it relates to the current Strategic Plan, and how the funds are to be implemented. RALOs may wish to review last year's ALAC's FY12 Budget proposals at https://community.icann.org/x/IASB. ALAC's FBSC will be reviewing the RALO submissions in an attempt to prioritize requests for submission to ICANN Finance in time by 20 January 2012. It is important to note that ONLY projects showing positive impact to ICANN's Strategic Plan 2012-2015 or to ICANN Policy Development will likely be approved. Also, please note that all project submissions sent by the ALAC will be included in ICANN's 2013 Draft Operational Plan and Budget and published for public comment. FY13 Budget requests may be either posted directly on the At-Large Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Development Workspace or sent to At-Large staff at: staff@atlarge.icann.org <mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> Kind regards, Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie Peregrine ICANN At-Large Staff E-mail: staff@atlarge.icann.org <mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>
