[NCSG-FC] Meeting in Copenhagen

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Hi Ed,

Thank you for a vigorous start as FC Chair. A meeting in Copenhagen would
indeed be appropriate.

Maryam,

Will you please schedule a meeting for FC. Thank you.

To fulfil our Charter obligations, I would like to ask Chair Tarvainen to schedule a full meeting of the Finance Committee for the next ICANN general meeting, ICANN 58, in Copenhagen.

The Charter tasks the Finance Committee to "work with ICANN finance officers to insure the NCSG and its Constituencies receive fair and equivalent financial support from ICANN". I believe that hosting the ICANN CFO and his team at our FC meeting will enable us to do just that.
