Finance Working Group Update forwarded on behalf of Byron Holland. From: Byron Holland <byron.holland@cira.ca> Date: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 4:08 AM To: Gabriella Schittek <gabriella.schittek@icann.org> Subject: finwg update The finwg had a telecon on June 5th where we discussed the updated and revised material and model from Beijing. The conversation was rich and fulsome with a number of good refinements being raised. There is a follow up telecom scheduled for June 25th, which will include Xavier. Agenda will include refinements from June 5th input. A face-2-face meeting will be held in Durban where we hope to get general agreement on the overall principles, quantum, and timelines. We plan to share the work with the community at Durban, allowing for feedback and socializing with other communities until the next meeting in Buenos Aires, where we intend to seek the support of the council.
