Dear All,
The FY18 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. FY18 Additional Budget Requests
cover the period 1 July 2017 through 30 June 2018.
The relevant information is available on the At-Large
FY18 Budget Development Workspace[community.icann.org],
including the key deadlines, details of the process,
principles and the request template.
IMPORTANT: In 2016, the members of the ALAC Finance
and Budget Sub-Committee (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.
-
RALOs should consider the General Assembly/Summit
timeline (APRALO is scheduled for a General Assembly in
FY18)
-
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 16
January 2017 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.
Kind regards,
Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Ariel
Liang, Gisella Gruber, Nathalie Peregrine, Terri Agnew and
Yeşim Nazlar
