Dear all, As Xavier mentioned during our Council meeting yesterday, a new consultation opportunity has opened for comments on the proposed Reserve Fund replenishment strategy. The Standing Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO) has a group of Councillors and Subject Matter Experts from across the GNSO who have gotten into the rhythm of meeting regularly as a part of our review of the proposed FY19 Budget and Operating Plan. Given this momentum, I was wondering whether or not the Council would like the SCBO to prepare a draft comment in response to this consultation opportunity? Thank you.

In that case, which I understand, it can be broad statement of concerns, to state that we are aware of the impact that it may have, that we are following it, even if we don’t have a specific “way forward” with consensus to propose regarding the reserve funds.

Thank you for these comments, Donna. If there are no objections raised on this list, I will notify the SCBO in 48 hours time that we should begin formulating a comment on the proposed Reserve Fund replenishment strategy, mindful of the SCBO/Council's mandate, and we will then report back to Council in due course on our progress.
