[NCSG-FC] ICANN64 Meeting plenary

Fri Feb 22 19:16:01 EET 2019

I will ask all the chairs (e.g. Rrs, Rys, BC, IPC, ISPC.)  I am pretty confident that you will find they all have finance committees, as they charge substantial fees to join.  However, these entities are independent of ICANN.  The RALOS are a rather different kettle of fish, as ALAC has a lot more funding that we have and is set up quite differently than the GNSO stakeholder groups.

Hi Stephanie,

There is limited information on different community Finance committees and how they work but I have asked AFRALO to share how they manage their finances, will share once I obtain a response and the role played by ICANN Finance in that respect. I think NCSG will be first to adopt FC operational procedures but am not really sure, thanks.

Have you inquired of other Stakeholder Groups, how they handle their finances?  What role does ICANN play?

I would suspect none.  It is not their place.

It should have been very helpful If I was to be there to assist in some physically.

However, there will be need for online participation.

There is need also to have an ICANN staff preferably from Finance speak to some of the issues, especially in responsibility and expectations from an FC.

Equally a few minutes remarks by NCSG chair will not be out of place as well as Cs chair. May be NCSG 3minutes, C chairs 2minutes each. They will still speak to issues as intervention arises.

Good luck.
Remmy
