<div>The new ICANN bylaws give the community a special responsibility for the ICANN budget. We’ve responded in the NCSG by revitalizing our Finance Committee and now need to ramp it up to fully participate in the Empowered Community. We’ve put together a program to help NCSG members fully understand the budget, the process and the way you can help shape the outcome!</div>
