<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi Ayden,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">thanks for the draft which is coming at a good time and allow us to work on it without pressure,</div><div class="gmail_extra">about the intercessional which is a separate topic not necessarily related to the budget, I am for an evaluation and assessment. I am not that convinced that issues were a matter of planning. The content is almost the same every year, just with small changes of few topics. I think after 5 years or more, it is a good time to review and think about improvement. I believe our CSG friends will be open and welcome that. Organizing it every other year can provide that opportunity and possibility for real change. <br>
<br>I will review the budget and add my comments there.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Best,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Rafik</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2018-02-09 6:21 GMT+09:00 Ayden Férdeline <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:icann@ferdeline.com" target="_blank">icann@ferdeline.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>I think this year's Intersessional was unsuccessful, partially because of insufficient planning on our part, as well as the wrong delegates being in attendance.

proposed NCSG comment on the FY19 budget. This took quite
some time to comb through, and I might have missed some
things. So before I share this comment on the main
discussion list and face the inevitable wrath of criticism
and dislike, I thought I might share it here to get some
initial feedback. I have also cc'd in a few other people
who might not be on this mailing list but who I think
might be able to offer some constructive edits on its
