Hello again, I’ve attached a revised version of the statement including: 1. Susan’s addition regarding the additional resources required for the post-EWG PDP 2. A paragraph describing a view on how Special Budget Requests fit in to the GNSO’s work and the FY16 draft budget and operating plan 3. A form of disclaimer indicating that this letter is not being submitted as a result of a Council motion and vote, but rather in the absence of any objection. Could folks please review this, and speak up if there are any objections to submitting it or if any proposed changes are required? Thanks.

Hi,

Attached is a draft comment on behalf of the GNSO Council in response to the open public comment period on the ICANN FY16 draft budget and operating plan. It is fairly straight forward, and (as far as I can tell) does not address anything outside of the Council¹s remit of management of the GNSO¹s PDP.

Thoughts and feedback would be very much appreciated. Unfortunately, we only have until UTC 23:59 on May 1st until this needs to be submitted. My sincerest apologies about the late submission, but have been rather overwhelmed with duties lately.

Also attached is a spreadsheet and pdf file that Carlos has previously circulated to this list with a clearer breakdown of predicted expenses for FY16. If we are to submit a comment, the spreadsheet is referenced, so will need to be submitted along with it.

Thanks.

Amr

Thanks.

Amr & Colleagues,

Thank-you for stepping up and preparing this work.

I propose to review and make a final editorial check on the document tomorrow prior to submission on behalf of the Council.

If Councillors have any concerns with this or have any other input, please make it known to the Council asap (as well as providing constructive input to assist / remedy).

Jonathan
