FY19 Additional Budget Requests - Timeline and Criteria
by ICANN At-Large Staff Dec. 12, 2017

Dec. 12, 2017

Dear All, This note is to announce that the FY19 Additional Budget Request process has started. This process pertains to a dedicated part of the overall ICANN annual budget that is set aside to fund specific requests from the community for activities that are not already included in the recurring ICANN budget. FY19 Additional Budget Requests cover the period 1 July 2018 through 30 June 2019. The relevant information is available on the At-Large FY19 Additional Budget Request Workspace<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY19+Additional+Budget…>, including the key deadlines, details of the process, principles and the request template. The ALAC Subcommittee on Finance and Budget<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ALAC+Subcommittee+on+Finance+an…> (FBSC) plays a key role in reviewing all At-Large FY19 Additional Budget Requests for submission to ICANN. IMPORTANT: In 2016, the members of the FBSC agreed to the following criteria for At-Large proposals: * Outreach should not be a major focus. Activities to improve engagement with existing members is encouraged. * If any request is made on outreach, it should probably go through the CROPP program and not this special request process. * Proposals should include ways in which will make the ALAC and/or the At-Large community more effective and develop the At-Large community. * RALO requests must go through a bottom up process within their RALO prior to being submitted for consideration by the FBSC. * They must be explicitly supported by the RALO representative on the FBSC. * Staff is currently expecting that basic resources for community communications/printing will be supported through the core ICANN budget, but that community proposals for printing , etc. will be accepted as a back-up in case expectations change. Specific proposals for communications resources beyond simple printing and editing functions should be prepared and submitted. IMPORTANT: Between now and 12 January 2018 the RALOs are asked to review any ALS request or complete a template on behalf of the RALO and send requests to At-Large Staff<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>. Kind regards, ICANN Policy Staff in support of the At-Large Community E-mail: staff(a)atlarge.icann.org<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> Website: atlarge.icann.org<https://atlarge.icann.org/> Facebook: facebook.com/icann<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge>atlarge<https://www.facebook.com/icannatlarge> Twitter: @<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge>ICANNAtLarge<https://twitter.com/ICANNAtLarge> [unknown.png]

What is your take on that, and specifically, on the recent workshop in Abu Dhabi, parallel to ICANN60? Capacity-building workshops are very useful in bringing not only new members, but also new voices to GAC discussions. Lowering barriers to participation is one of our objectives, and this is just one aspect of our work. Continuous evaluation and enhancement of such workshops, as well as providing the material in different languages, are crucial for achieving broader interactions and discussions in the GAC. What is on the GAC agenda for the next 12 months? We have urgent matters such as .amazon and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), WHOIS, and Registration Directory Services (RDS). There are also hot topics such as ICANN jurisdiction and geographic names, the important diverse topic of New gTLD Subsequent Procedures, and the long-standing discussions on intergovernmental organizations and international non-governmental organizations. This is in addition to the High Level Governmental Meeting scheduled for Barcelona in October 2018. Administratively, priorities include the review of the GAC Operating Principles and lowering barriers to participation. How do you see the role of the GAC chair? The main role of the chair is facilitating the work of the GAC in an accountable and transparent way, in order to provide timely consensus advice to the Board or input to the community. The chair should also work on reaching out to enhance engagement in and of the GAC, and work on building bridges of mutual understanding, respect, and trust between the GAC and the Board, as well as the GAC and the wider community, including all Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICANN Visits Belarus for the Second Eastern European DNS Forum On 12-13 October 2017, ICANN organized the second Eastern European Domain Name System (DNS) Forum [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dSR74fzuH1yHqIA54uErkeBkZlC2QqhoDmmmJidbq3oT…] (EEDNSF) in Minsk, Belarus, hosted by Belarusian country code top-level domain (ccTLD) technical administrator hoster.by [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dSR74fzuH1yHqIA54uErkeBkZlC2QqhoDmmmJidbq3oT…] With over 160 participants from more than 10 neighboring countries and beyond, this event was a great sequel to the regional initiative kicked off last year [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dSR74fzuH1yHqIA54uErkeBkZlC2QqhoDmmmJidbq3oT…] Find out about the evolution of the EEDNSF in Alexandra Kulikova's blog [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dSR74fzuH1yHqIA54uErkeBkZlC2QqhoDmmmJidbq3oT…] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICANN Supports First Central European Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Poland 21 November was an important date for Internet governance in Central Europe. This first Central European IGF was held in Warsaw, Poland. After organizing a successful first Polish IGF in 2016, the Polish Ministry for Digital Affairs expanded the initiative to include other countries from the region. Along with partners from academia, nongovernmental organizations, business, and the technical community, ICANN was a strong supporter of this initiative and played a crucial role in broadening the event to include the entire Central European region.

One of our fundamental objectives has been to create awareness that will lead to meaningful participation of the African community in ICANN and in the wider Internet governance ecosystem. According to the Africa Union, 65 percent of Africans are below the age of 35. The World Economic Forum states that the 10 youngest populations of the world are all in Africa. This reality makes it imperative that we put youth at the center of our regional engagement agenda. Read more...

It is worth noting that in Israel, the ccTLD is categorized as national critical infrastructure, meaning that the registry must meet certain security criteria. Crain met with the Israeli Internet community, law enforcement agencies, and government representatives to discuss issues related to Domain Name System (DNS)security. He gave training sessions and delivered speeches at various conferences, with a focus on DNS abuse and DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC). Crain also visited the national Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). We would like to thank our host for the warm welcome and opportunities to meet with Israeli stakeholders. We look forward to furthering our cooperation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICANN Participates in World Hosting Days in Moscow On 9 November, ICANN's Alexandra Kulikova, Global Stakeholder Engagement Senior Manager for Eastern Europe and Central Asia, delivered a keynote speech at World Hosting Days in Moscow (WHD.moscow [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001dSR74fzuH1yHqIA54uErkeBkZlC2QqhoDmmmJidbq3oT…] ICANN has participated in WHD conferences in other locations, but never before in Moscow.

This was the first time ICANN organized a "roadshow" of lectures, united under common topics but adapted for diverse stakeholder groups. The agenda included an SSR enforcement training and lectures on DNS fundamentals, DNS abuse, and its implications from legal, investigative, and business perspectives. We're happy to report that the capacity-development lectures were a great success among participants, who demanded more in the future. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICANN Holds a DNS Business Workshop at FENUD 2017 ICANN organized a DNS Business Workshop attended by 20 female participants on November 15.
