I am pasting below the Council Chair's suggested addition:<br></div><div><br></div><div><i>Second, the GNSO Council wishes to propose an improvement to ICANN org’s budget development process. The GNSO Council met in January to identify and prioritise its policy development and other activities in the coming year. We believe that the results of this exercise would prove an extremely effective tool to ICANN org in its development of the annual budget, in that it would provide the organization with clear, current status anticipated timelines and thus help the organization more accurately account for policy implementation in the annual budget. The GNSO Council considers a more robust information gathering approach by ICANN org to be an important and necessary maturation in its budgeting and fiscal prudence.</i><i><br></i></div><div><br></div><div class="m_-5701424703801760222protonmail_signature_block"><div class="m_-5701424703801760222protonmail_signature_block-user"><div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I saw the suggestion from Heather and fine with that wording.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Rafik</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="m_-5701424703801760222protonmail_signature_block"><div class="m_-5701424703801760222protonmail_signature_block-user"><div> </div></div><div class="m_-5701424703801760222protonmail_signature_block-proton m_-5701424703801760222protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div> On 1 March 2018 6:28 AM, Rafik Dammak <<a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com" target="_blank">rafik.dammak@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><div> <br></div><blockquote class="m_-5701424703801760222protonmail_quote" type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi Ayden,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks for this,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I reviewed the comment (also last edits by Donna).
