Hi all Sorry not to have enough time to join. Regarding budget, I believe that budget is associated with our plan for the fiscal year 2008/2009 and the goals we want to achieve. We need to have a plan with our goals to propose a budget to allow us to reach those goals. That's under our jurisdiction to do this and to present to Icann and fight for it. Hence, we need to work to really reach the goals we have proposed for ourselves, or we loose credibility. These two task I believe should be our priority to guarantee that we will have adequate conditions to do a good job.

So IMO we should refer the Board to the WIKI page where this whole process and the document is held... https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?finance_and_budget_committee Further I personally wish to hear more from Vanda in her current capacity as Board regarding her brief mention of ALAC Budget matters, as a priority issue, in our meeting yesterday morning (for the short time she was able to be with us) which could be interpreted (which is why I wish to hear an expansion on her comments) as being in varience with the advice on the matters of the ALAC part of the ICANN Budget compared with the advice and instruction we have recieved in past briefings... This is the main substance of what I would like to raise with the Board in our Budget discussion... CLO Quoting Annette Muehlberg <annette.muehlberg@web.de>:
All,
In preparation of the Board meeting tomorrow, I think we should
refer to the proposal of procedure, the ALAC budget committee
reached consensus on in the last ICANN meeting in San Juan:

Minutes of the Budget Sub-Committee Meeting 29th of June 2007
Participants, all members of the Budget Committee:
Jaqueline (in function of chair)
Cheryl (CLO)
Annette (AM)
Planning of the ALAC budget current finacial term 2007/2008 as well
as next term 2008/2009
General procedure of budget application approval:
1. ALAC, based on the proposals of its Budget Sub-Committee, plans a
prioritised proposed budget / funds requirement forecast, for a
given period, based upon RALOs and ALAC members input.
2. ICANN decides on funds availability and proposes a match of funds
(modified, full or partial) to each prioritised proposal (and if
certain project proposals are not accepted as being either of merit
OR able to be funded) ICANN gets in touch with ALAC before denial
and explains its reservations, so that the SC can act to find a
consensus for the budget plan.
Function of the Budget Committee (as already practiced beginning of
last year):
- puts together a proposal for fiscal year activity and project plan
for the ALAC
- receives every single extra request (workshops etc. of RALOs and
ALAC as well as individual demands of ALAC and RALO members (such as
travel costs to meetings other than ICANN meetings) for reason of
transparency and to give recommendation to staff (larger projects in
consultation with ALAC).
(AM: Personal comment: I think, that the ALAC should always have
access to a forum where all the budget expanses - planned and
already realized - are listed. Agreed by CLO, adding the proposal to
include a nominee(s) contact from the RALO's, agreed by AM)
A form for application (perhaps a small modification for endorsment
from RALO others?/ comments from ALAC SC etc., etc., to the current
form available would work for this) for funding has to be used.
SC Actions:-
After San Juan Meeting, Chair sends out to all regional lists a
request for planning their regional projects and handing in budget
applications within the following four weeks.
Budget Committee puts proposals together and for finalizing the
planning 2007/2008 online before LA Meeting and Doug Brent will be
invited to take part in a Budget SC telefon conf and at the ALAC
meeting in LA.
(AM Comment: request for proposals for current financial year
2007/2008 should be sent out immidiately, answers to be made within
3 weeks - deadline monday the 15th of october - so there will be
(short, but at least some) time for the budget committee and the
ALAC to come up with a plan before next ICANN meeting end of october
in LA, where we should arrange a meeting with Doug Brent. Agreed on)
Now request for proposals for current financial year 2007/2008 by
COB 27th September end dated 15th of October, this gives 21 days.
For clarification: this will be the 1st round funding proposals from
the Regions and their organisation / members and we can then allow
for other activities to be included that come up in LA.
For planning the fiscal year 2008/2009 the Budget Committee proposes
the deadline for applications by RALOs and ALAC for the 2008-09
Fiscal year is 10th of December.
(We should also think about some contingency funding request to be
set aside for new activities that come up in response to urgent
need...)
Review by Budget Committee to ALAC: 21st of december.
Back from ALAC to Budget Committee 31st of January.
21st of february (or later) Budget Committee sends out to RALO/ ALAC.
---
End of the minutes of our Budget SC Meeting.
Further actions:
I'll work with Cheryl to create announcement texts to the lists and
any form links (new / modified forms we might need as well)
The Final minutes of this meeting should go onto a Wiki page
dedicated for this purpose (CLO volunteered to set it up).
All the best to all of you
Annette
