Finance and Budget Subcommittee Call Report
by Darlene Thompson Feb. 10, 2014

Feb. 10, 2014

Hi all, These are just some of the things that I noticed from today's call that may be of interest to you: 1. Again this year, ICANN will not have set its budget priorities until AFTER we are expected to have put in our budget requests. So, again, we will be moving in the blind, shooting at a moving target. 2. This next year there will be no short track as the powers that be thought that we all found that too confusing. Everything will be short tracked. 3. When doing budget requests, DO NOT put in any requests for travel to outreach events. This will now be handled by the new CROPP program. More information will be coming out from CROPP as to the exact parameters and procedures to be used. 4. The CROPP Review Team is to be comprised of volunteers from each RALO's Outreach Group and Finance Board Sub Committee Group (one from each, totaling 10). Eduardo is on the Outreach Group but as he is part of the CROPP Team, he cannot serve. This left me serving on both groups but with the happy addition of Allan Skuce on the FBSC so, between the two of us, we can have these positions covered. Darlene

by ICANN At-Large Staff Nov. 27, 2013

Nov. 27, 2013

Call for Volunteers GNSO Policy Translation and Transliteration PDP Working Group In Brief The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council is seeking volunteers to serve on the PDP Working Group (WG) on Translation and Transliteration of Contact Information. This WG is expected to make recommendations to the GNSO Council on whether it is desirable to translate or transliterate contact information. In this context, translation is the process of conveying the meaning of text from on language into another; transliteration is the process of representing the characters of one alphabetical or syllabic system of writing by the characters of another, conversion alphabet. Introductory Webinar To provide potential volunteers with an idea of the PDP Process including Working Group procedures and also some background information on the WG's substantive issues, an Introductory Webinar will be held at the following times: Tuesday 10 December 2013, 12.00-13.00UTC - local times: http://tinyurl.com/m2suev5 Wednesday 11 December 2013, 18.00-19.00UTC - local times http://tinyurl.com/kyk5lej To join the webinar please RVSP to gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org> First meeting If you are interested in joining the Working Group, please contact gnso-secs(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-secs@icann.org>.

In such a situation, a country code Top Level Domain will be re-delegated without the consent of the incumbent ccTLD manager in cases where there are “persistent problems with the operations of the domain” and where there continues to be “substantial misbehavior” on the part of ccTLD managers despite the IANA Operator’s best efforts to stop the misconduct. A draft statement has been prepared and is available for your input/comment on the following wikipage: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=43980716 If you have thoughts or opinions on this topic, please do provide your input/comments on the wikipage. Thank you. Best regards, Rinalia
