Dear all, On 17 May, ICANN posted its' draft Fiscal Year 09 Operating Plan and Budget:http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-17may08.htm The ccNSO is preparing a conference call with ICANN's Chief Financial Officer, Kevin Wilson, and Chief Operating Officer, Doug Brent, on 5 June 2008, noon (12 am) UTC. In order to make the call as efficient and manageable as possible, we are looking for a few (3-4) volunteers who will have read the budget and will act as "facilitators" on the conference call on behalf of the ccTLDs. Those who do not wish to volunteer, but have questions or comments on the budget and operating plan are welcome to send in their questions/comments to ccnsosecretariat@icann.org - these will then be conveyed to the facilitators, who will raise it during the conference call. The call will be recorded and uploaded on the ccNSO website. Should you wish to volunteer, please, email ccnsosecretariat@icann.org as soon as possible. We will also inform ccTLD managers through the members list and the newly created email list. Kind regards, Gabi
