12:12:02 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Victoria
12:12:04 From Bachollet Sebastien - Euralo to Everyone:
Talking about At-Large projects here is very good ;)
12:20:16 From alangreenberg to Everyone:
Chances are the funds "allocated" may ultimately not be used because new funds were also added.
12:20:59 From hadia Elminiawi to Everyone:
What if the annual budget does not have any excess, how would you proceed with the projects already being supported?
12:22:00 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
@ Hadia - I believe his point is that, once funds are allocated for a project over XXX years, those funds are locked in and supported.
12:22:48 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
@Hadia this elegant solution allows for that IMO
12:27:04 From Bachollet Sebastien - Euralo to Everyone:
You can’t take into account the 5 years budget planing?
12:30:29 From Alfredo Calderon (AT-Large Mentor) to Everyone:
I guess it is a mater of prioritizing projects and the affect in the 5 yr planning...
12:30:56 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
indeed @Alfredo
12:33:49 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
fine by me I am in another call with NC-IRWG anyway
12:35:42 From Becky Nash-Org Planning to Everyone:
Yes questions can be emailed to planning@icann.org if you wish. Again the presentation and zoom recording for the 29 April Webinar: Here is the link to the webinar: https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=163840418
12:35:45 From Alfredo Calderon (AT-Large Mentor) to Everyone:
If the Board aproves the SFICR, will this come into effect next Fiscal Year…?
12:36:58 From Becky Nash-Org Planning to Everyone:
The FY22 OP&B included a recommendation to replenish the reserve fund.
12:37:15 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Becky
12:38:19 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Thanks for the detail
12:38:35 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Many thanks, Shani!
12:38:42 From Shani Quidwai to Everyone:
Thank you all for the great dialogue
12:39:04 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
thank you Shani
12:39:12 From Alfredo Calderon (AT-Large Mentor) to Everyone:
Thank you, Shani for the detailed and concise responses.
12:39:51 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Could these slides also be on this meeting’s site - thanks
12:40:53 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
@Shani, thank you for the explanation of the funding initiative and your responses to our community's issues
12:41:34 From Shani Quidwai to Everyone:
Regarding Alfredo’s question on the timing of when this will go into effect. The timing of when this fund will be utilized will be driven by the approval from the Board. The Fiscal year starts on 1 July 2021 so I anticipate that we will begin using it next yr
12:42:13 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Shani
12:42:22 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
I hope so , @Shani
12:44:34 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Is this type of calendar useful for OFB-WG planning purposes? By Calendar year with the two FY separated?
12:45:07 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
@ Heidi - at this stage, just having the timeline is really helpful
12:45:21 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Ok.
12:47:46 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:
@Becky - thank you for both timelines, looks great
12:48:54 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:
Is there a way to be updated on what is happening with planning and finance at ICANN?, other than the planning email list?
12:49:39 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Just trying not to be so reactive, I think
12:49:48 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Great slide!
12:50:16 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
We could perhaps adjust this slide for when At-Large should comment.
12:50:27 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
@ Heidi - yes please
12:52:33 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
I would say yes, it is useful to be reminded where we were going in the past cycle
12:53:02 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Holly Raiche; Heidi Ullrich and Becky Nash to work on a timetable for when the OFB-WG should comment on. the various budget/operating/strategic plans. 
Heidi Ullrich and Claudia Ruiz to work with Finance and Planning to adjust the slide on "Community Participation in Planning" for when At-Large should comment.
12:53:12 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Those are the current Action Items.
12:53:28 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:

12:55:24 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Great - Heidi - more for the timeline!
12:55:49 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
I will need to switch to audio only now.
12:55:58 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
That would be excellent -- some pre-interaction re: the comments
12:56:18 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Many thanks for discussion. Good way forward.
12:58:28 From Becky Nash-Org Planning to Everyone:
