[NCSG-PC] [Draft] Proposed NCSG Comment on the FY19 Budget

[Martin Pablo Silva Valent]

I support the draft in general, but there some conclusions I cannot arrive
from what I know, and therefore will not support.

I would not say that icann is a generous employer, but I think is ok to ask
to further understand rhe salary structure. We might even find out that a
big oart of icann is contracted and not employed and not well paid.

Same goes for the next gen and the fellowship, for me it is not an obvios
statement we should cut them back without further information. It would be
irresponsible to demand that and I know we are agreeing on that at Council
level.

In that sense I would be more careful in the way of expressing our
concerns, but not our certainty, because if we wrong our certainty
statement can do damage and even loose credibility over time. While if we
wrote our concerns appropriately there is no downside and we might bring
needed light to a topic.

Best,
Martin

Cheers,
Martin
