Randy: The expenditure of the funds of ICANN is and shall remain the direct responsibility of the staff, answerable to the Board, to answer your question. The Bylaws prescribe the mechanisms by which the Budget of ICANN is created and approved, which provides several opportunities for all stakeholders to provide input before a budget is finalised. When the community wishes to have funding for some activity during a budget year there is a posted process by which this is done. I draw your attention to my many previous postings on this and related questions. -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart On 16 Oct 2007, at 22:59, RJGlass | America@Large wrote:

re: "It's the budget At-Large is charged with, over which neither ALAC nor its participating constituents have discretionary authority. Hence the difficulty in moving educational projects forward."--Wendy
Who does have discretionary authority over these items??
I would like to point out 2 line items: Other consultants - 36,300 Telephone Network - 24,000

Dear ALAC Members and Secretariats:
I believe that most, if not all, of you have seen this before, it was a part of Doug Brent's presentation on budgeting which was provided at the ALAC Meeting in San Juan.
For those who are new, please be aware that this level of detail is not commonly available to any other community in ICANN. When numbers such as these have, in the past, been made public, it has resulted in problems for the community - especially since other communities do not get travel support at all - let alone for 35 people to attend each ICANN Meeting. You are invited to use your judgment, knowing these facts, in deciding whether or not to forward the attached. -- Regards,
Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN Main Tel: +33 (450) 40 46 88 USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +41 (22) 594-85-44 Mobile: +41 (79) 595 54-68 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org <mailto: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org> Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com <mailto: ashtonhart@hotmail.com> / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com <mailto: nashtonhart@mac.com> / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart
