I support these questions being asked. I hope we may also be able to seek clarification as to how much it costs for the CCWG-IG's annual report to be generated. From what I understand it is compiled by an external consultant. I would also like to understand the costs associated with subscribing to various regulatory intelligence services; occasionally I have seen reports downloaded from Cullen International shared on the CCWG-IG list, but there may be other services that are utilized.

I want to make a specific mention to the Agenda item #5

If the resolution will ask for more financial details on the overall IG engagement costing, I request to make it add "across" the traditional budget structure for the purposes of this question, and add

time/costs, meetings and travel that can be assigned to Executives & Board members engaged in IG issues, including but not limited ITU, other governmental multi-laterals, ISOC, GSMA and other private sector orgs, IETF and other quangos, similar activities
time/costs and staff involved in Government Engagement
time/costs and staff involved in direct support to GAC
time/costs and staff involved in meetings and calls that support the previously called CWG on IG

My assumption is that the last line, which seems to be the most important issue during the council's discussion, will be well small compared to the other ones. Are we focusing on the right issues here?
