[NCSG-PC] [Suggestion] Additional Budgetary Request - NCSG PC Strategic Planning Session

[Arsène Tungali]

Hi Ayden,

I am in full support of this request. I just added one quick suggested
edit-addition which is to include both Chairs as well (NCUC and NPOC).
I understand they are not PC members but maybe their presence can be
of help as we will be discussing a strategic plan.

Thanks,
Arsene

>
> The NCSG Policy Committee is growing in activity, responding to more
> requests for public comment than ever before in its history. To sustain this
> momentum, the NCSG Policy Committee would like to request support to conduct
> a two-day, face-to-face planning session during FY19. Such a session would
> allow the Officers of the NCSG Policy Committee to develop an appropriate
> and ambitious work plan for the year ahead, to negotiate and determine NCSG
> positions on pressing issues, and, for the first time, to draft a five-year
> strategic plan for the Policy Committee’s activities. This is a session
> which we would like to hold outside of the setting of a traditional ICANN
> meeting. While the Policy Committee does meet during ICANN meetings, given
> our Officers involvement in other working groups and on the GNSO Council,
> there is never enough time to think about our more long-term objectives.
> This session would allow us to develop a work plan for both the next 12
> months, and at a higher level, for the next five years, and is best suited
> to being held in isolation away from the pressures of our other ICANN
> commitments. This session would be largely self-organised with minimal staff
> support required.
>
> The deadline for submitting additional budgetary requests is 31 January, so
> I would like to suggest that we add this to the agenda for our upcoming
> policy call to discuss further. Thanks!

> Best,
