To clarify.
The reserve fund should not be more than 12 months.
Also any attempts to either use auction funds to replenish reserves or any increase in fees to either registries or registrars should not considered.

Regards

Michele

All

They’re also inconsistent with the comments being prepared by the RrSG so I cannot support them.

Thanks to all who contributed to this draft.


Unfortunately the Council comments are inconsistent with those being prepared by the RySG and as such the Council comments could not be supported.

Berry, hi -

when we debated the topic in the subgroup I raised concern to increase
the reserve fund level (up to 17 months). I like to repeat my concern
again.

Thanks,
Erika

GNSO Council Members,



On behalf of the GNSO Council Standing Committee on ICANN’s Budget and Ops
Plan (informal until Council adoption of charter), I attach here a draft of
comments regarding ICANN’s Reserve Target Level for your consideration and
eventual submission to the public comment forum, absent any objections from
Council members.  The comment submission deadline is 30 November 2017 and as
such Council’s deliberation on this draft can occur via the Council’s
mailing list and it will also be an agenda item on the 30 Nov Council
meeting.



The standing committee met last week to discuss this topic and was also
joined by Xavier Calvez, ICANN’s CFO.  As agreed during that call, staff
assisted the committee with developing a first  draft.  This draft contains
two options with regards to the size of the Reserve Fund; option 1 in line
with the current target as analyzed by staff and the Board Finance
Committee, and option 2 that proposes an extension to 24 months of operating
expenses.  Please refer to the attached draft for details and the analysis
paper submitted for public comment
(https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2Dcomments_reserve-2Dfund-2D2017-2D10-2D12-2Den&d=DwIGaQ&c=MOptNlVtIETeDALC_lULrw&r=CwipU91YB6EkpFXK9ynnT_QUef4yC5p7jpsDm8cU97g&m=aipC3aW9InMbBKFNJeP3Zc474y2KErlwcqthYU2fiVA&s=EMW4W0OFv1kagWlUuvLAlb8RmHpUxjUwK23CMesmaj0&e=).  Only
one comment has been submitted to date.



On behalf of the Council Leadership and again absent any objections, staff
can submit the final version of comments to the forum by 23:59 UTC, 30
November 2017.



In the meantime, please let staff or Council leadership know if you have any
questions about process or this draft of comments.  Thank you for your
attention to this matter.
