Bruce Tonkin stated that ICANN was requesting what should be done with the money collected by the constituencies for use by the Names Council that was currently in a separate account but managed by ICANN. The general discussion was consistent with a previous Council motion http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-29oct03.shtml on the topic that the funds should remain with ICANN as a contingency fund for the GNSO Council.
http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-29oct03.shtml Item 8. Budget update. GNSO Secretariat to provide: - report on current balance of GNSO account - procedures in place by ICANN to manage the account on behalf of the GNSO.
The Secretary reported that after all payments had been made, the unencumbered funds amounted to $24.923.63. Bruce Tonkin stated that Council needed to make a decision who had the authority to operate on the GNSO account that would continue to be managed by ICANN.
Bruce Tonkin proposed that: The GNSO Secretariat could authorize expenditure from the GNSO account as authorized by the GNSO Council chair to a limit of $1,000 U.S.
The motion was passed unanimously by the GNSO Council.
Decision 8: The GNSO Secretariat could authorize expenditure from the GNSO account as authorized by the GNSO Council chair to a limit of $1,000 U.S.
