NCSG Finance Committee: Update & Background
by Sam Lanfranco Aug. 6, 2019

Aug. 6, 2019

Dear NCSG Colleagues, As of the first of August, I am the NCSG Finance Committee Chair on an interim basis, until NCUC selects its FC member and the FC decides on a Chair. I would first like to thank Ayden Férdeline, the outgoing chair, for his able management of the chairpersonship. I will call on him for advice as we move forward. There are several things that NCSG members, especially relatively new NCSG members, should know about the Finance Committee. 1. Since the NCSG charter was adopted (2011) the Finance Committee has only operated intermittently. 2. The Finance Committee has no money, no budget to manage, and no treasurer role to carry out. 3. The Finance Committee carries out literally none of the tasks sketched out in the NCSG Charter. 4. The Finance Committee is more-or-less a “workspace” to assist NCSG through the NCSG Policy, and Executive Committees, in their work. When the NCSG Charter was adopted there was a much grander role foreseen for the Finance Committee. Literally (or virtually) none of that was ever undertaken. See (below) relevant Finance Committee text from the NCSG Charter. To give you an idea of what the Finance Committee is currently doing here is the agenda for it last (July 23^rd ) online meeting: I. Updates to Statements of Interest II. Finalize Finance Committee Comment on Financial Assumptions for Formal Review by NCSG Policy Committee III. Continue Wordsmithing Operating Procedures and Discuss Next Steps IV. Finalize Code of Ethical Conduct Document for Review by NCSG Executive Committee V. Discuss Process for Appointing New Finance Committee Chair VI. Any Other Business Here is the wording of the remit of the Finance Committee as found in the 2011 NCSG Charter. (/formatting slightly off due to pdf copy/) https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_25801/ncsg-charter-05m… NCSG Finance Committee (NCSG-‐FC): The NCSG Finance Committee is responsible for establishing a firm financial footing for the NCSG and administering NCSG funds within a defined framework that meets relevant legal requirements as well as requirements imposed by ICANN. The NCSG-‐FC’s responsibilities include fund raising, setting voluntary contribution levels for members, determining procedures for the distribution of funds, and for monitoring the utilization of funds. The NCSG-‐FC will also be responsible for the Treasurer function. Formation of the NCSG-‐FC, its composition, and duties within the NCSG-‐FC are set out in Section 2.6. /Here is the text of Section 2.6:/ 2.6 The Financial Committee The NCSG Finance Committee is responsible for the following: •Elect a Chair who will also serve as NCSG Treasurer; •Determine rates for voluntary contributions from members; •Develop and deploy a fund-‐raising plan for the NCSG; •Work with the ICANN staff to determine levels of support available to the NCSG; •Work with ICANN finance officers to insure the NCSG and its Constituencies receive fair and equivalent financial support from ICANN; •Accounting for any funds received by the NCSG from any source. This accounting will include the following: *All funds raised by voluntary membership fees or otherwise must be held in a separate NCSG account. *Proper controls must be implemented. *Regarding Expenditures: •All expenditures under 500 Euro may be made on the authority of the NCSG Treasurer •All expenditures over 500 Euro must be approved by the NCSG-‐FC *Financial reports must be prepared annually and be made public. •Provide internal conflict resolution process regarding funds. •Provide the oversight of the Treasurer function. •Fulfill any other accounting, auditing or other prescribed financial requirements as set by the ICANN Board of Directors for organizations within the ICANN structure. •Document methods and procedures used for accounting, reporting and budget creation. Such documentation is subject to review by the NCSG-‐EC Comments, opinions, suggestions and questions are welcomed. Sam Lanfranco, interim Chair, NCSG Finance Committee

The reason we are specifically calling this out is because this has been one of the topics that has generated the most amount of interest from the community and the most amount of dissatisfaction from the community on how it was handled in the 2012 round. Although we have a few recommendations from the initial report and some back up for those, we really want to encourage discussion on developing more specific recommendations. Yes, we all know that there is wide dissatisfaction on the way it was handled before, but without concrete recommendations from the community, we will not be able to do better this next time around. Thanks! Reminder: Materials for tomorrow's call can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11mtncTwPLPx6vpbunACToRZy1vWyls-MxVAb3wq…. Applicant Support starts at page 17. JEFFREY J.

FY20 CROP- Site Opens Announcement
by Caleb Olumuyiwa Ogundele July 23, 2019

July 23, 2019

Dear NPOC Members, Please find below a communication from ICANN on FY20 CROP. https://community.icann.org/display/soacabout/FY20+CROP-+Site+Opens+Announc… You may all wish to acquaint yourself of the changes. Kind regards *Caleb* Dear Community Leaders, I am pleased to announce that the FY20 Community Regional Outreach Program (CROP) space is now ready for your use. The CROP team thanks all community leaders and groups for collaboratively working with our regional Global Stakeholder Engagement (GSE) colleagues to develop the various Outreach Strategic Plans for this fiscal year. In response to feedback about the FY19 program, staff has re-drafted and re-formatted the Guidelines and Procedures, and we have also added a “What Has Changed” section at the top of the home page for your easy reference. *What has not changed from FY19*: The submission and concurrence process, templates and forms remain the same as for FY19. The fundamental concept that CROP trips should be closely linked to current ICANN policy or technical work is also unchanged. *What is changing for FY20:* The following aspects of CROP are new for FY20. - Applicable *geographic regions and countries* within regions – ICANN Org believes that it will allow for greater clarity as well as community flexibility in many cases to use the *GSE list of countries and regions <https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/111382480/GSE%20Geographic…>*, rather than the less detailed listing of official ICANN meeting regions. The FY20 CROP space therefore contains a link to the current GSE list for your reference. - Reimbursement for *conference registration fees* – while the general rule remains that conference registration fees are not part of CROP funding, for FY20 ICANN Org has created a*limited exception* for cases where senior staff approval has been sought and obtained. - Using *1 out of 3 trip allocations to an ICANN Public Meeting or ICANN-organized event* – for FY20, community groups will *no longer be required to FIRST use 1 trip allocation for this purpose*. In other words, any 1 out of the 3 trip allocations can be used to an ICANN Public Meeting or ICANN-organized event (if one is taking place in the applicable region). ICANN Org hopes this will provide the community with greater flexibility in planning their FY20 strategic outreach activities. - Clarifying *7-week deadline* for trip requests – we understand that the FY19 requirement of “5 calendar days plus 6 weeks” may have been confusing for some groups. As such, for FY20, we will count the period between the last possible day for submitting a trip request and the commencement date of the trip as seven (7) weeks. This will not substantially alter the actual duration in question (as between FY19 and FY20), but we hope the clarification will provide greater clarity. Please note that this will not alter the requirement that the relevant regional VP’s *concurrence must still be obtained a minimum of 6 weeks* before travel commences. - *CROP staff lead* administrator – for FY20, the staff lead for this program will be Maryam Bakoshi. She will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable deadlines, following up on trip proposals and assessment reports, and to generally assist you with the program. However, please continue to send your queries and reports to the usual email address (crop-staff(a)icann.org) On behalf of the CROP staff team, our regional GSE colleagues and ICANN’s Constituency Travel department, I hope that your groups will find the FY20 CROP helpful in conducting your regional strategic outreach activities. The FY20 CROP space can be found here: https://community.icann.org/display/soacabout/CROP-FY20. Please note that we are launching this space now in the interests of time, and will be continuing to update and correct any errors that we may find. Thank you for your understanding! Best regards, Mary, Maryam and the CROP staff team -- *Ogundele Olumuyiwa Caleb* *muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com <muyiwacaleb(a)gmail.com>* *234 - 8077377378* *234 - 07030777969*
