Based on your comments:
*Remmy:* A Q and A might be needed is order for members to obtain first
hand information about ICANN finances, 1 question requiring 1 answer might
be sufficient.

*All:* I also saw that we do not have the PC on the agenda, I do not know
how we have find a way to accommodate their views and inputs. Would it be
giving them more platform on Q&A, inputs and comments to accommodate them
in the agenda or what?
