FY16 Budget - Community calls on public comment submitted
by Xavier J. Calvez April 29, 2015

April 29, 2015

Dear all, The FY16 Draft Operating plan and Budget is under public comment until the 1st of May (this coming Friday). We are offering to hold community calls during which the comments submitted by 1 May will be presented by the submitters to ICANN Staff, in order to enhance the understanding of the comments, and thus supporting an improved response quality. This is a suggested step that addresses community feedback received in the past and addresses ATRT2 recommendations (#12.1 and #12.5). Each call will be public, focused on 1 organization having submitted comments, and will be attended by at least 1 Board Finance Committee member (see list below). Additional board members may attend based on availability. The Staff and Board members attending will primarily LISTEN and ASK clarifying questions as needed. It is not expected that responses to public comments will be provided during these calls, unless the comments are factual with a very specific and simple answer. A call will be scheduled with the following organizations, assuming that they will submit comments by 1 May. Tentative dates are from 6 May to 12 May, with the following designated Board Finance Committee member: * At Large: Cherine Chalaby (additional Board member attending Rinalia Abdul-Rahim) * ccNSO SOP WG: Chris Disspain * GNSO BC/IPC/ISPCP: Asha Hemrajani * GNSO Contracted parties: Gonzalo Navarro * All others (NCSG, SSAC, RSSAC, individuals,...): Bruno Lanvin. Doodle polls will be sent shortly to the chairs and members of these organizations, as well as BFC members, to identify a suitable time. Once scheduled, the calls date/time will be announced and published on our website for anyone interested to attend. Please let Taryn and I know if you have any questions on the above process. Thank you. Best, Xavier Xavier Calvez CFO ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, CA 90094 Office: +1 (310) 301-5838 Fax: +1 (310) 957-2348 Cell: +1 (805) 312-0052

Re: [community-finance] Announcement of Singapore Budget working group: call for participants
by Xavier J. Calvez Jan. 1, 2015

Jan. 1, 2015

Chuck, Tijani, et al, Though this working session could be an opportunity for a discussion of both the process and the main assumptions of the FY16 Operating Plan and Budget, it was initially intended to be about the main assumptions: - review of the revenues projections assumptions and figures - year on year baseline expenses variance assumptions - priorities: what, why - initiatives (Ie USG transition, impact of USG transition, implementation of ATRT2 recommendations, Whois next generation,...): what, why, how. We believe that this timing of the Singapore meeting (aside for expected scheduling challenges), is an ideal opportunity to exchange on the main budget assumptions before the staff finalizes the budget development. Discussing the process and notably the next steps/actions post-Singapore would also be a natural subject to discuss. Let's use this email thread to narrow down the most useful agenda. Happy new year to all! A lot of important work ahead of us this year!

I had understood that this group would talk about the budget process going forward. According to the objective below, that appears to still be the case; is that correct? To make it clear that this is not an opportunity for community input on the Operating plan & budget themselves, I think it might be a good idea to reword the objective something like the following: “Early input on the process for obtaining community input on the FY16 Operating Plan and Budget.” Chuck From: community-finance-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:community-finance-bounces@icann.org> [mailto:community-finance-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Xavier J.
