FW: GNSO Council Additional Budget Requests
by Steve Chan 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

Dear Councilors, Please note that three Additional Budget Requests were just submitted on behalf of the GNSO Council ahead of the deadline. There was an additional ABR suggested by Keith, inspired by the recently concluded Strategic Planning Session. Given the importance of things like the “picket fence” and the GNSO’s role as a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community, he believes that there is great value in capturing things like these in a format that facilitates learning in the future (e.g., training videos, interactive learning experiences), especially delivered by the likes of Becky Burr and Heather Forrest. This ABR was just drafted in the last couple of days, in consultation with Council leadership. It is certainly not ideal that you are being informed of this additional ABR after submission, so if you have any objections, please let us know ASAP. Best, Steve From: Steve Chan <steve.chan(a)icann.org> Date: Friday, January 31, 2020 at 3:39 PM To: <planning(a)icann.org> Cc: <gnso-chairs(a)icann.org> Subject: GNSO Council Additional Budget Requests Dear ABR Team, On behalf of the GNSO Council, please find three ABRs for your consideration.
