This is very interesting. Thank you sharing this, Berry. Our work cost astonishingly little, especially compared to how much ICANN spends on the average Review Team. Ayden Férdeline ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Sunday, 2 June 2019 01:47, <mail@berrycobb.com> wrote:
Hi All,
Please find attached the final EPDP Phase 1 Factsheet. We apologize for the delay, but it took a while to fully reconcile actual expenses within the ICANN finance system with what we tracked manually as expenses were incurred by the EPDP. Prior distributions only included the page 1 summary. This final version, however, includes details of the expenses for Professional Services and Face-to-Face Meeting travel. It also includes an expanded view of the project activity and resources used over the eight months. In short, $424,883 of the committed $590,000 was consumed for Phase 1.
- Page 1 is a summary as provided monthly over the course of the project - Page 2 provides details for the professional services (CBI, Verizon, Bird & Bird, and IT Governance) - Page 3 displays expenses by type for the three face to face meetings (Los Angeles, Barcelona, and Toronto) - Pages 4 & 5 provide telcom expenses by category and email traffic activity - Page 6 summarizes the key milestones and deliverables
As noted in recent correspondence to the GNSO, the ICANN Board provided resources in the near-term for Phase 2 in FY19 and committed to additional resources being available once the EPDP has developed a full work plan of its activities. Staff has created a fresh EPDP-Phase 2 Factsheet to track this effort separate from Phase 1. I suspect the first version of Phase 2 activities will first occur in August after ICANN65 expenses have been fully realized.
This is also posted on the EPDP wiki under Phase 1 https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=88574682.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
