Great! Thanks for the explanation, Marika. I was not aware when FY15 would start.

Best, Ana

Ana, just to clarify, the budget request relates to Fiscal Year 2015 which in the ICANN world runs from 1 July 2014 – 30 June 2015. Also, depending on the outcome of the conversations, if funding would be required before 1 July 2014, it is something we could explore independently from the special budget request.

Best regards,

Dear all,

I would like to thank Marika and Olof for this draft of the FY15 Community Request Form to request travel support for a GNSO liaison to the GAC, to which I have no problems at all, as if it doesn’t prejudice the discussion of any options, it helps to prevent us from any blockage in the future.

Nevertheless, I must say I’m concerned with what might happen in 2014, a crucial year for this Early Engagement in Policy Development Process e.g. on gTLDs. 2015 will be an important year as well, but in 2014 we should start some pilot somehow as we have already discussed. I know my concern is not out from our discussion but I just wanted to make my point once again.

Thank you.

Looking forward to meeting everyone virtually tomorrow.

Ana

Dear All,

As discussed, Olof and I have prepared a first draft of the FY15 Community Request Form to request travel support for a GNSO liaison to the GAC. As noted before, this request is in no way intended to prejudice the discussion on the different options that have been put forward to date and as such can be withdrawn at any point the consultation groups decides not to pursue this specific option any further. Please note that the deadline for submission is 7 March.

We look forward to receiving your feedback.

Best regards,

Marika
