[NCSG-PC] NCSG representatives on the GNSO Council Standing Committee on ICANN Budget & Operations

[Ayden Férdeline]

Thanks Rafik, I do appreciate that usually we change our appointments around the AGM, however as the budget process will kick off before then, I thought it might be valuable to have some more continuity in place and the one Councilor to remain active today and through the AGM when the budget development process continues. I think this is particularly important if the new representative does not already have an understanding of how ICANN's budgetary process works, as it could be a bit more difficult coming in later.

Best wishes, Ayden

It is more realistic to have a councillor to volunteer till AGM as alternate. The SCBO can initiate through the year though to get SMEs but I doubt there is an appetite for that.
