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.
See
you tomorrow

Assunto: Re: [At-Large] budget
Annette, we could perhaps (as this proposal was
challenged by Denise
with some questions and interpretations which we
inturn responded to
and we will further at our meeting on Thur meeting
when Doug Brent and
Denise attend for the discussion item on the Agenda
under Budget...
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...
