NCSG-DISCUSS Digest - 26 May 2018 to 28 May 2018 (#2018-147)

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi Thato,

We asked this question in our original comment back in March, and received a satisfactory response from ICANN org in relation to this matter. The Finance department will endeavour to provide more granularity as a part of the FY20 budgetary process.

In this follow-up letter, we sought only to raise those issues where the response from ICANN org did not meet our expectations.

Best wishes,
Ayden Férdeline

By resolving this, it will make it easy for these community to participate more meaningfully and effectively in execution of ICANN objectives and goals.

Community participation in execution of portfolios needs to be also highlighted. Not sure if this was mentioned in the initial budget comment submission, thanks.

>>> As you may know, last week ICANN published the proposed final Budget and Operating Plan for the coming fiscal year. This is problematic in several areas, and it has not addressed many of the concerns that the NCSG flagged within the draft Budget that was published back in January. Accordingly, I have prepared a brief comment to this effect.
