<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As
discussed during ICANN59 in Johannesburg, the GNSO
Council is looking to form a Standing Committee
consisting of interested GNSO Council members
focused on the ICANN Budget and Operational Plan.
You will recall that the GNSO Council submitted
comments as part of the FY17 & FY18 ICANN draft
budget and operating plans. These past efforts have
been ad hoc and somewhat reactionary. Given changes
to the ICANN bylaws and the new powers afforded to
the Empowered Community, one of which is the power
to reject the ICANN budget, it was discussed that
the formation of this new Standing Committee could
formalize the Council’s consideration of future
budget cycles in a more proactive and continuous
manner. A draft call for volunteers (page 1) and a
draft charter (remaining pages) were created and
available for review and provide further context (<a

comment on ICANN meeting format changes, with the
