I apologize for not being clear Marilyn: I meant the Friday after the meetings but before any other sessions like the ALAC session begin.

If this is the Friday before, let's make Friday afternoon and early evening? If it could become then AFTER a meeting for prep for next stage, then make it the Friday AFTER the meeting.

A budget process improvement kickoff meeting on Friday morning before any other sessions start sounds like an idea worth pursuing further to me. Thanks for
the idea Marilyn.

I have long advocated scheduling this meeting at a time when it does not compete with our normal working commitments. As the Board no longer holds a reasonable interaction with the Community
on the final day, but essentially a pro forma reporting out, the meetings have been shortened to four working days. This crams in a huge amount of work for all of us into what is actually only 3.5 days, due to the opening session. For any of us in Constituencies/WGs,
or in the ccNSO, there are also required meetings for our Communities.
Is it possible to consider scheduling at least one session on the Friday a.m. after the ICANN Board meeting, so that extensive discussions can occur without forcing all of us to deal with
major conflicts of time.
Building up expertise over time with a core group improves the understanding and ability to be of support to the budget /finance planning process.
Could this be considered -- again? as a possibility?
As to the schedule of Wednesday, it could be possible to segregate the new gTLD budget, but the concerns of the community about 'excess income', and the risks associated with what may be
unidentified issues, such as issues like dotless domains which are still under examination are also probably community discussion topics regarding SSR issues, rather than just a budget /finance discussion.

All:
In preparation for the Durban Public Finance Session (tentatively scheduled for Wednesday July 17, 2013 11:00AM), we are soliciting your feedback on items to be included in the agenda. The
following have been identified as potential agenda items:
·
FY14 Draft Budget
o
SO/ AC Requests – overall results and implementation approach
o
Public comments overview – address major areas of focus/ concern
o
Review budget development process improvement– post mortem on FY14 budget process and next steps for FY15 budget process*
·
Future Financial Reporting
o
FY13 Actual vs. FY13 Budget and FY12 Actual w/ variance analysis – to be published by the Buenos Aires meeting
o
Quarterly public reporting – format/ content currently under review with the BFC
·
New gTLD Program Update**
* Similar to last year, we would like to form a working group to help formulate a better process for the development of the FY15 budget; one that allows more interaction with the community.
In preparation for this, we would like the community’s feedback on having a separate 60 minute “kickoff” session to discuss budget development process improvement. The purpose of this session will be to define the working
group goals and gain consensus on the best approach to facilitate the working group (calls/ webinars/ etc.).
**The New gTLD program update may be included in the New gTLD Session rather than the Public Finance Session.
Will you please provide your feedback on the above agenda items as well as items not listed that you feel should be addressed during the session? We will consider all recommendations, however
given the 90 minute timeframe (including Q&A) all may not be included in the final agenda.
Will you also please provide feedback on having the 60 minute budget development process improvement “kickoff” meeting?
Thank you in advance for your strong support.
Best regards,
Taryn
