Dear Councillors,

In addition to agenda point 6.1 (SOP Working Group Update), please, find Roelof Meijer's written update below:

The SOP WG is disappointed by ICANN’s wholly insufficient reaction to quite substantial comments of the WG on ICANN’s Draft FY14 Ops Plan & Budget.

The Chair of the WG has informed Xavier Calvez accordingly and has –notwithstanding its frustration- suggested as a way forward that way forward –in short- is to make sure that ICANN really engages with the community, by taking input from the community very seriously.

The WG is presently drafting a letter with similar content to ICANN’s CEO and Board and expects to receive both a response to the communication as well as more a substantial response to its input on the FY14 Plans.

Kind regards,

Gabi
