Sent: Friday, April 28, 2017 1:21 PM To:planning@icann.org Subject: [Planning] Comments on Draft FY18 Operating Plan and Budget Dear Becky Nash, I am a researcher from China. I have some comments shown below on Draft FY18 Operating Plan and Budget: 1.To achieve the first Strategic Objectves initialed in section 7 of the Proposal, there is an increase in the FTEs in the plan.But we found that there was a decrease on the numbers in the Sigapore Office in the executive-team-reports-march-2017-public.pdf, campared with a continuous increase in NA area.So, what would ICANN do to improve the current situation? Chinese community and other commnities in AP rigion need more people and pore oppertunities on the local engagement support from ICANN. And we also need your clearer purpose and more acts. 2.For the goal 2.3 Support the Evolution of the Domain Name Marketplace to be Robust, Stable and Trusted, I strongly suggest that ICANN should launch a DNS market research on AP rigion with cooperation with local partner, especially after your finishing some similar reports on other rigions. Since AP rigion is the fast growing market and about half of New gTLD registrations occured in China, Chinese community and other local partner hope that ICANN start the research as soon as possible with finance support. 3.Please increase budget on the capacity building, Universal Acceptance outreach, Technical egagement in the AP rigion especially in China, since there are huge users and high finance contribution to ICANN. Thank you. Yours, Liu Yue

[Comments-fy18-budget-08mar17] Additional ALAC Comment on FY18 Budget
by Alan Greenberg April 28, 2017

April 28, 2017

This request is being submitted by the ALAC Chair on behalf of the ALAC. The ALAC has met with the GAC for many years, and have always talked about more substantive collaboration and the possibility of exchanging Liaisons. However until recently, such collaboration has not actually occurred. The ALAC and GAC are now more effective in addressing issues of joint concern (such as potential harms from specific sensitive gTLDs). Current GAC leadership was very supportive of establishing an ALAC Liaison to the GAC, ensuring a regular bi-directional flow of information and ensuring that both groups are aware of each other's "hot issues". As of June 2016, this liaison has now been put in place (roughly equivalent to a similar GNSO Liaison to the GAC). To ensure that the Liaison can fulfill his/her mandate, it is essential that the Liaison can attend all ICANN meetings and participate in GAC activities. Currently the ALAC has travel support for its Liaisons to the GNSO and ccNSO. Fortunately at the moment, the Liaison to the ccNSO also has travel funding as an ALAC member, so we have been able to "reallocate" the ccNSO Liaison travel slot to the GAC Liaison. However such a fortuitous "spare" travel slot cannot be guaranteed and is not expected to be available for much longer. The ALAC requests one additional ICANN meeting travel slot (airfare, hotel and per diem) to for its Liaison to the GAC. The ongoing At-Large Review has identified the need to those At-Large workers who are active participants in At-Large and other ICANN policy activities to attend ICANN meetings. Having such active workers attend ICANN meetings will not only enhance At-Large discussions at its meetings, but will benefit the other ICANN activities they are involved in as well. The ALAC strongly supports such an initiative. The Review Final Report has not yet been delivered (it is due within several days), but it is expected that the proposed method to fund such travel will not be implementable (based on extensive ALAC and At-Large review of the proposed methodology). The ALAC requests that additional travel support slots to ICANN meetings be allocated to At-Large active contributors. The ALAC would establish criteria to be met and ALAC Leadership would ensure that such support is only provided if other sources of funding are not available. This request is very comparable to the FY18 GNSO request (FY18-22) for four Working Group Chairs which has just been approved. Unlike participants in many other parts of ICANN, At-Large participants are volunteers in the true sense of the word. Virtually none of these contributors are employed in activities related to ICANN or the domain name industry. None are paid to attend ICANN meetings. Many have to take unpaid time off from work or use vacations to attend meetings. The ALAC further notes that its travel funding has been close to uniform since mid-2009 (the last meeting of FY09). At that point At-Large was funded for its 15 ALAC members plus two regional leaders per Regional At-Large Organization (RALO) for a total of 25 travel slots. In FY14, it was increased to 27 to cover the liaisons to the GNSO and ccNSO if they were not otherwise funded. During this same FY10-FY16 period, the number of funded GNSO travel slots has gone from 23 to 49 (for ICANN56). Since the GNSO did not tend to use all of its travel slots in the early years, the average funded number of GNSO travellers per meeting has increased from 17 in FY10 to slightly under 48 in FY16. The ALAC requests as a pilot program for FY18, five additional travel slots per ICANN meeting, to be allocated to demonstrably active contributors.

[Comments-fy18-budget-08mar17] Budget Comments from the RDS PDP WG Chair
by Gomes, Chuck April 28, 2017

April 28, 2017

I submit these comments in my capacity as Chair of the Next Generation gTLD RDS to Replace Whois PDP Working Group (RDS PDP WG). In communications among WG members over the last few weeks and especially over the last several days, the possibility of the WG needing independent legal expertise in early FY18 regarding the European Global Data Protection Requirements as well as Privacy and Data Protection Requirements in other regions of the world has become increasingly pronounced. Ideally it would be best if the details could be scoped out in these comments but that is not possible because the comment period ends today and because the need is just now becoming particularly evident. Therefore, I would like to request that the following be done in the next 2 to 3 weeks by ICANN staff in cooperation with the leadership of the RDS PDP WG: 1. Define the scope of the legal advice needed as best as possible. 2. Confirm whether the Draft FY18 Operating Plan & Budget contains sufficient funds to cover the need. 3. If additional funds are determined to be needed, modify the Draft Budget to address the need. Chuck Gomes, Chair, RDS PDP WG
