As I mentioned on our recent call there are several ways that people can engage in the budget discussion. The list that Berry forwarded this mail from is one of them and Xavier and his team tend to hold a number of seasons at the ICANN public meetings to discuss the budget Regards Michele Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Hosting & Domains http://www.blacknight.host/ http://www.mneylon.social Sent from mobile so typos and brevity are normal On 13 Oct 2017, at 18:10, Berry Cobb <mail@berrycobb.com<mailto:mail@berrycobb.com>> wrote: Dear Council Members, The announcement below from Xavier is indirectly related to the discussions about the standing committee on the draft budget process.

Calvez Sent: Friday, October 13, 2017 13:01 To: community-finance@icann.org<mailto:community-finance@icann.org> Cc: BFC Subject: [community-finance] Public comment on Reserve Fund Dear all, This email is to inform you of the public comment on the ICANN Reserve Fund which has just been opened yesterday (see link below). It focuses on updating the rationale and the target level that the ICANN Reserve Fund should have. Community input is critical on this topic as the Reserve Fund is THE pillar of ICANN’s financial stability and sustainability. The Community input will help with the definition of rationale, and contribute to setting the target level. This is key to then determine the mechanisms that the Organization should put in place to reach and maintain the Reserve Fund. We will engage with everyone interested on this topic during ICANN60 for those who will be present. Looking forward to seeing you there. If you have questions on the content, please submit them as public comments as they will also help others, otherwise feel free to reach out to me. https://www.icann.org/public-comments/reserve-fund-2017-10-12-en Thank you.
