Thank you Olivier! Thank you Allan for your very good management of the last section of the teleconference today. I'm not sure a Doodle will be appropriate for showing our preferences. So I will do it the old way: 1. I take my proposals back, (a) if staff can analyse the public comments *in an interactive way BEFORE* we get to Durban so we have* good practical real data/metrics* on public comments, and (b) the team agrees on allotting a least 90 minutes for discussion of ICANNs public interest position in relation to the other players of the community. I would like to bring in Jesse Stowell from MIT as a facilitator of the discussion, as my assistant, consultant or whatever you want to call him. Costs would be minimal for both proposals. 2. If there is money left for a "Grand Consultant" (and I had though the one pagers where the solution for smaller consulting tasks and leaving the THINKING to ourselves, as per the previous to last call,* but apparently I got it all wrong*) my priorities are: - (A) Governments perception of ICANNs A&T as per Jorgen's proposal and other contributions - (B) A case Study of the gTLD PDP as per Allans proposal, which think is a very good one by the way - (C) orward looking ICANNs finances, i.e. projected to the future (either benchmark or comparison), if the analysis can focus on the impact of gTLDs on the *overall income from the DNS world, **income from actual TLDs (.org for example) and ***income for ccTLDs. In other words how much bigger is the pie going to get and its probable distribution Cheers Carlos Raul 2013/5/23 Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl@gih.com>

Dear all,

please be so kind to find the proposed Budget from the ICANN FY14 Draft Operating Plan:

Objective: Affirmation of Purpose - Fadi Chehade Goal: Act as Steward of the Public Interest - Sally Costerton Portfolio: Affirmation of Commitments - Denise Michel Program: ATRT (Accountability & Transparency) Reviews Description: Support the assessment of ICANN's commitments, the Board’s consideration of that assessment, and any subsequent follow-up actions Program Metrics: Fulfillment of staff support and liaison functions Program Dependencies: Community, Board, staff and management Program Stakeholders: Community, Board, staff and management

Timeline: FY13 T3 Personnel: $160,956 Travel: $78,800 Prof Services: $37,800 Admin: $850 Total Expenses: $278,406

If the decision is made by this Committee to hire an external consultant, this Committee would probably need to advise ICANN Finance of this requirement so as to be able to retribute the external consultant accordingly. http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/op-budget-fy14-10may13-en.htm

Kind regards,

Olivier
