Dear all, The Standing Committee on Budget and Operations has prepared a new draft of a proposed GNSO Council comment on the FY20 Budget and Operating Plan. Please find attached, both clean and redlined versions. There are two key changes from the previous version. First, we have worked with Councilors who raised concerns around the bullet point about the fellowship program, and in this draft this language has been refined. Second, we have inserted a new bullet point calling for an upgrade to the GNSO's website to be prioritized, following the resourcing discussion at the Strategic Planning Session. Absent any objections from a member of the Council we are seeking to submit this comment on behalf of the GNSO Council on 8 February 2019. If possible, please raise any concerns by 13:00 UTC on Wednesday, 6 February 2019 so that we have sufficient time to address them. Thank you. Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Thursday, January 24, 2019 6:58 PM, Ayden Férdeline <icann@ferdeline.com> wrote:
Dear all,
On behalf of the GNSO Council's Standing Committee on ICANN Budget and Operations, please find attached our draft comment on the proposed FY20 Budget and Operating Plan for your review and consideration. Absent any objections from a member of the Council we are seeking to submit this comment on behalf of the GNSO Council on 8 February 2019.
We have our next call on Monday, 28 January at 14:00 UTC. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggested edits which you can share before this call, we will gladly table them for discussion on this call. Alternatively we can address any concerns or questions that are raised after 28 January via email.
If possible, please raise any concerns by 1 February 2019 at 14:00 UTC so that the SCBO is able to address these concerns and to share a revised draft with the Council with sufficient time for you to review the final version. Thank you!
Finally, there is one paragraph in the proposed comment that is highlighted in yellow. This is in reference to the Document Drafting and Development pilot program. At this time the SCBO does not have a firm view on whether or not this text should remain. We would appreciate input from the Council on whether or not this paragraph should remain, be edited, or deleted.
Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline
