From robin Mon Dec 5 22:35:02 2011 From: robin (Robin Gross) Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2011 12:35:02 -0800 Subject: [EC-NCSG] Fwd: ICANN / Budget FY13 / SO-AC request process and template References: Message-ID: FYI Begin forwarded message: > From: "Xavier J. Calvez" > Date: December 5, 2011 12:23:40 PM PST > To: Marilyn Cade , Chris Chaplow , "gchynoweth at dyn.com" , "ocl at gih.com" , Lesley Cowley , "raul at lacnic.com" , Heather Dryden , "paf at cisco.com" , "robin at ipjustice.org" , Byron Holland , "tonyarholmes at btinternet.com" , "k.komaitis at strath.ac.uk" , "dmaher at pir.org" , Roelof Meijer , "junsec at wide.ad.jp" , "asterling at aamc.org" , "Metalitz, Steven" , "stephane.vangelder at indom.com" > Cc: Juan Ojeda , Aba Diakite , Janice Douma Lange , Robert Hoggarth , Julie Hedlund , Heidi Ullrich , Jeannie Ellers , Bart Boswinkel , Glen de Saint G?ry , David Olive > Subject: ICANN / Budget FY13 / SO-AC request process and template > > All, > > As a reminder, the SO-AC request process below pertains to the dedicated budget that is set aside from the overall ICANN budget to be able to take into account specific requests from the community for activities that are not already included in the recurring ICANN budget. > Please find below a revision to the timeline and process suggested to be retained for the FY 13 Budget "additional request process". We had originally suggested a deadline of December 9th for requests to be submitted, so that such requests are included in the Budget framework, currently scheduled to be posted on January 17th. Instead, we are now proposing to desynchronize the requests timeline from the publication of the framework, as described below. The revised deadline to submit additional requests is therefore January 20th 2012 as indicated in paragraph 3 below. > > The process we are suggesting to retain for FY 13 is as follows: > 1. Please complete the attached request template for each individual new resource or activity that your community is requesting. The form has been designed to give you an opportunity to describe in detail theactual scope of the activity you propose, how it relates to the current Strategic Plan, and how the funds are to be implemented. > > 2. We ask that you give consideration to the number of requests and to the priority of the requests prior to submitting them. By noting the respective priorities of your requests it will make it easier to evaluate the requests from various community groups. Indicating all of them with a high priority will have the opposite effect to the one desired: it will make it more difficult to take into account any of your requests, and/or it will lead the ICANN staff to have to prioritize your request, obviously less adequately than you would. > > 3. Please send each completed request form to the controller at icann.org mailbox by January 20th 2012. Though all requests will be examined and processed, the requests will be processed in the order they are received: the earlier your requests enter the process, the more opportunity we collectively will have for review and consideration. > > 4. Each request will be reviewed by a member of the Finance within 48 hours of receipt for a first review to either (i) clarify elements of the request if need be, or (ii) acknowledge receipt. > > 5. All Additional requests will be aggregated for review and selection. A placeholder ?additional requests" envelope will be included in the Framework for a total of US$0.5m for all requests. This is the amount that everyone should have in mind when submitting requests. Being a placeholder, we may decide, through the selection process, to change the amount of the envelope suggested for additional requests, dependent upon what conclusions the selection process (see below) reaches. If such is the case, the revised amount will be submitted for approval by the Board Finance Committee, and possibly by the Board. > > 6. ICANN Staff will be suggesting a process to collectively determine which of the additional requests will be retained and incorporated into the FY 13 Budget. The objective is to conclude the selection process with a final list of requests to be included in the budget by the end of the Costa Rica ICANN meeting. > > 7. The Board Finance Committee and ICANN Executive Staff will have the opportunity to review the various requests and discuss them as appropriate with community leaders throughout the entire budget process - from publication of the Framework document through posting the draft Operating Plan and Budget on 1 May 2012. > > 8. Requests that are approved by the ICANN Board will be implemented in FY 13 in conjunction with the ICANN staff and community work. > > Additionally, for newly approved travel support, community leaders will still need to comply with the already established process of filling out the ICANN Constituency Travel template prior to travel to an ICANN meeting or approved alternate meeting. > Our Finance Team is committed to the transparency of the objectives, outcomes and expenditures for each funded request. Detailed implementation plans and finance tracking of each activity and expenditure will greatly improve the likelihood that we will achieve that transparency goal. All approved requests will be located within a ?Community Support Services? budget category and will be documented, tracked and expensed. > If you have any questions about these processes or thetemplate, please contact the Finance Team through controller at icann.org. This email address will help us manage the documentation and review process and will ensure that your questions are promptly addressed. > To ICANN policy support staff: at the next opportunity, please check with the addressees above that they have effectively received my email as this will be the first email to a number of them. Thank you. > > > Thanks. > > Sincerely, > Xavier > > Xavier Calvez > ICANN ?

These notes also live in the EC-NCSG "shared" folder on Google Docs for access by all members of the NCSG Executive Committee and are posted to the NCSG Meetings page on the wiki. Thanks, Robin Chair?s Notes from the NCSG Executive Committee Meeting 7 December 2011 Present at Teleconference: Robin Gross (Chair), Michael Carson (NPOC), Rafik Damak (NCUC), Klaus Stoll (NPOC) MP3 Audio Recording: https://icann.box.com/shared/static/1p4qpehryatjkhcb7enj.mp3 Transcript: https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/16220428/120711_EC-NCSG_transcript.doc?version=1&modificationDate=1323388344000 Agenda: https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/120711+Agenda+EC-NCSG Chair?s Notes of Discussion 1. Review of pending NCSG membership applications ** Note: As per NCSG Charter, any absent full voting member of the EC may object to any membership approval before it becomes final. Milton Mueller was not present during the 7 Dec. NCSG-EC teleconference so may object to an acceptance within a week from today. A. Accepted for NCSG membership: Organizations: i. Young Life (also member of NPOC) Representative: Jan Morton ii. Tranquil Space Foundation (also member of NPOC) Representative: Tim Mooney Individuals: iii) Mark Leiser (UK) (also member of NCUC) iv) Cheryl Landon Orr (Australia) B. Need more info / discussion: i) US-IGNITE ISSUE: Raised by Michael & Klaus as to whether organization currently is in operation or if the organization is only planned at this stage. Klaus raised an additional issue as to whether this was a ?trade organization? or a nonprofit organization. ii) Kasweshaw Community Resource Center ISSUE: Maintained by Robin as to whether organization is more appropriately an initiative of governments and business working together as opposed to a true noncommercial organization. Robin raised issue of new domain name supplied is in the CCtld space and not the Gtld space, thus not impacted by GNSO. iii) Information Technology Association of Gambia (ITAG) ISSUE: Maintained by Robin as to whether organization has too commercial of a focus and that ITAG?s previous response was unsatisfactory: ?ITAG is a membership based organisation a registered charity of professionals within the IT industry in the Gambia, its funding comes from membership fees, and in some cases for events sponsorship comes from ISP's the regulatory agency etc.? iv) Child Protection Alliance ISSUE: Maintained by Robin as to whether organization is more appropriately an initiative of governments and business working together as opposed to a true noncommercial organization. C. Denied NCSG membership: NONE D. Further Discussion of NCSG Membership Criteria Klaus requested a wider NCSG discussion on NCSG membership criteria. Michael and Klaus have concerns about allowing university students to join NCSG as individual members. Michael and Klaus call for a discussion of broadening the definition of ?noncommercial organization? to include collaborations with governments & business. Agreement among all EC members to bring this discussion to the wider NCSG membership and try to hold a NCSG-EC meeting in Costa Rica (or before) to focus on this issue specifically. 2. NCSG Financial Committee & ICANN FY2013 Budget Request So far members of NCSG Financial Committee are NCSG Chair, Klaus Stoll representing NPOC, and Milton Mueller representing NCUC. Dorothy Gordon is an observing member of the NCSG-FC representing the candidate consumer constituency. We may appoint others as needed and are seeking volunteers from NCSG membership for those with fundraising or accounting experience. NCSG has no money so we need to find resources to carry out the NCSG work. Proposed ICANN Budget for FY2013 includes opportunity for NCSG to request resources from ICANN (for travel support, meeting support, secretariat support, etc.). Deadline extended until 20 January 2012 to for NCSG to make budget requests for FY013. Klaus suggested we hold NCSG-FC meeting in next couple of weeks to discuss this specifically and determine budget requests and volunteers to organization the meeting and discussion. Robin suggested 1 thing NCSG may want to request is travel support for EC members to ICANN meetings in FY2013. 3. Establishment of NCSG liaisons with other SO's, ACs, & SGs NCSG should appoint liaisons to work with the other SO?s, AC?s, and SG?s (as per NCSG Charter) to further NCSG?s mission and objectives. Liaisons should be working for common goals and ways to work together with the other SO/AC/SG and be contact point when needed. The EC should appoint liaisons from the NCSG membership who have good relations with the other SO/AC/SG and a solid understanding of their policy issues. Liaisons should be ?bridge builders? between the NCSG and the other SO/AC/SG and both sides should feel comfortable with the liaison proposed and final selections should be mutually acceptable. NCSG-EC will determine the appropriate NCSG member and propose that person to the other SO/AC/SG for final acceptance by them as the NCSG liaison. Similarly, the NCSG-EC will also approve the individuals proposed by the other SO/AC/SG who wish to serve as the liaison to the NCSG. NCSG has appointed an official liaison (William Drake) with ALAC. NCSG Liaison positions to consider: 1. ALAC - William Drake (filled) 2. Govt Advisory Cmte (GAC) - maybe we need several for key GAC members / regions? 3. Registry SG 4. Registrar SG 5. Business Constituency 6. IPR Constituency 7. ISP Constituency 8. CCnso 9. SSAC 10. ASO - is this necessary? 11. RSA - is this necessary?
