We were initially scheduled against the ICANN Budget Meeting and the NCSG meeting with the Board. That was unacceptable. Now that we've had the first NCSG FC meeting at an ICANN meeting in recent memory (something our Charter strongly suggests should occur every Meeting) hopefully this is something that can be scheduled in an appropriate time slot on the official schedule with proper advance notice in the future. At least that is the hope.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Thanks to all those who attended. Great questions - our guests were duly impressed. Lots of work ahead - look forward to working with everyone on the budget process going forward.</div><div id="AppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="AppleMailSignature">Ed Morris<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On 13 Mar 2017, at 11:19, Stephanie Perrin <<a href="mailto:stephanie.perrin@MAIL.UTORONTO.CA">stephanie.perrin@MAIL.UTORONTO.CA</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<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>
