<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Stephanie and all,</div><div><br></div><div>Apologies for the delayed response, just provide some comments regarding FY20 ABRs:</div><div><br></div><div>1. ABR have historically been used for travel to meetings, and during<b> FY18</b> there was a shift towards capacity building, outreach and communication support, 14 requests were declined in FY18.</div><div></div><div>In <b>FY19</b> the approved ABR we currently running on is centered around travel, communication and capacity building,6 requests were declined. <br></div><div><br></div><div>All this changes were necessitated by budget cuts but it seems like in FY20 the ABR will some how improve according to the ICANN finance during ICANN 63 during their FY20 planning meeting, so based on positive community responses from the capacity building approach, I would recommend that we still maintain capacity building, improving on communication while trying to support active and committee members engage more in PDPs and ICANN meetings. We need to find other ways of supporting members to represent and participate.<br></div><div><br></div><div>2. Secondly, we need to understand what the priorities and current projects that are running and how they can be supported through this ABR process from constituencies, committees, working groups and the Stakeholder Group itself.</div><div><br></div><div>3. It would be good to get proposals from the community before the official submission<br></div><div><br></div><div>4. I hope starting with ICANN 64, the Finance Committee will be able to hold sessions during ICANN meetings with the community, not knowing what impact this might have on the current ABR and future ABR submissions..<br></div><div><br></div><div>5. We are happy to help with this process<br></div><div><br></div><div>5. Please checkout the <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Finance+Committee#Information--640009899">FC Wiki space</a> for 2018 and 2019 ABR analysis, hope this helps, thanks.</div><div><br></div><div>Thato Mfikwe.<br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 3:01 AM Stephanie Perrin <<a href="mailto:stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca">stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div>
<div>to be clear :) I am not asking you as chair to do the whole work but instead that NCSG FC to coordinate such effort and takes the lead here. </div>
<div>I also suggested that ABRs proposals should come from NCSG members and committees with enough details as an input and then they can be discussed if they should be submitted or not depending if they are aligned with NCSG goals. NCSG PC may help in term
of input or proposals (while I don't have a specific idea here)</div>

</div>
<div>usually, it was the chair doing the coordination work and getting the requests done. There were attempts to get feedback and suggestion from members but the bulk of the work to populate the forms etc was still done by the chair. </div>
<div>Now, we have an active Finance Committee and it should play such role for coordination, collecting suggestions and ideas from members and committees with NCSG chair lead. </div>
<div>I think the approved ABRs for this year were already listed in NCSG wiki space
<a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Approved+ABRs" target="_blank">
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Approved+ABRs</a>. I think the evaluation will happen de facto when it will be decided to submit again the same request or not. <br>
