Notes

3. Finalize PTI financial objectives

· See draft circulated by Chuck on 25/3: “The financial objectives of PTI are to provide financial stability and operational
excellence. Financial stability is defined as sufficient funding of PTI so as to avoid any kind of negative impact on the
IANA Functions as a result of changes to ICANN’s financial situation. It furthermore is intended to capture the notion
of secured funding for PTI that goes beyond one fiscal year. The objective of operational excellence means that there
are sufficient funds budgeted and available to ensure that PTI is able to deliver operational excellence as defined by
Service Level Expectations approved by each of the three operational communities for their respective IANA services.”

· Update: 'Service Level Expectations / Service Level Agreements' to reflect that other communities use SLAs instead of SLEs.

· Next step: updated version to be shared with the CWG-Stewardship for their review and input.

Action item #1: Chuck to share updated PTI financial objectives with CWG-Stewardship for their review and input.

4. Status of recommendation for ensuring multi-year continuity of IANA Services funding

· Recommendation made as a result of last meeting - communicated as input to Becky Burr for CCWG-Accountability Bylaw drafting efforts that took place in LA last week. Update from that effort suggest that there was a
great level of co-operation happening in relation to the Bylaws, with the exception of the budget. Multi-year budgeting is
not considered by ICANN part of the recommendations and as such has pushed back on the proposal of DT-O.
Consider requesting CWG-Stewardship to clarify the intent of a multi-year budget with regards to a process to develop
such a multi-year budget. Financial stability for PTI is a must.

· Item will also be discussed during tomorow's CWG-Stewardship meeting to obtain formal approval (noting that it was already
preliminary submitted to ensure it could be considered as part of the Bylaw drafting effort).

5. Possible DT-O or CWG comments on the Draft FY17 ICANN Operating Plan & Budget

· See documents circulated by Chuck, especially text highlighted in blue.

· DT O / CWG-Stewardship to consider whether it wants to submit comments.

· Will IANA services remain free of charge? Nothing in the budget proposes any revenue for the IANA services. If others
agree this is an important to make (that it remains as is), could be a comment to be considered? Budget for operation
of PTI is detailed in the draft budget.

· Question from Seun on mailng list concering compensation for root zone maintainer function. May need to be some
compensation for contractual purposes?

· Consider possible comments further during DT O meeting later this week.

Action item #2: All to review the budget documents circulated by Chuck on 24 March ahead of the DT O meeting on Friday.

6. Develop a process for development and approval of the IANA Services budget

· Xavier and Elise to meet shortly to discuss

Action item #3: Xavier/Elise to provide update prior to Friday's DT O meeting on this topic (process for development and approval
of the IANA Services budget)

7. Developing a Caretaker Budget

· Xavier has indicated that he has some ideas in this regard. As he is not available for this meeting, this item is
deferred to the next meeting.
