<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px"><div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here's what I propose as the short summary for the budget "summit", hosted by the NCSG FC:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-</div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">Recognising that Community powers with the budget are placed within the remit of the SO/AC's, the NCSG FC would like to host a meeting of all GNSO stakeholders interested in ICANN finance to discuss and plan a path forward that would enable the GNSO to better work together in a more unified way while participating in the planning process for the ICANN budget and OP's. GNSO and SG/C leadership will be invited to participate in the meeting as well as volunteers whose ICANN focus includes a remit in finance. </span></div>
<div>-</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To fully enable the community powers relating to the budget under the transition reforms, all SG's and C's need to work together, where possible, through the GNSO to fully maximise their potential. If there is support for the idea I'd be very happy to see the GNSO create an equivalent of the CCNSO"s Strategic and Operational Planning working group. This, of course, would be in addition to anything done at the SG/C level and, if done properly, should strengthen those efforts.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind Regards,</div>
<div> </div>
