Zoom Chat: 2021-10-07 Operations, Finance and Budget WG

13:54:57 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
OK we have back up if needs be
14:09:07 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
Meant to send this to all— I do not see the RTT captioner on this call? Is there a reason why we do not have RTT on this call. We used to have it for all OFB-WG calls
14:09:55 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
This is one of our official WGs and should have RTT..
14:11:05 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
Exactly and why I asked as it used to have RTT in the past and not sure why it stopped having it
14:11:40 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Great analysis of the details, Ricardo..
14:12:18 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
+1 Ricardo
14:14:34 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
It does not look very efficient to be dithering when the implication for making one choice or another, represents a considerable budget amount. If they have money to spare then they could allocate more to At-Large to help us do our work
14:15:29 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Unless future ICANN meetings are going to go more hybrid with regional hubs not requiring as much travel budget
14:16:14 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
If travel were to be regional rather than to the actual ICANN venue.
14:20:25 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Good point Judith
14:21:32 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
@Judith, according to the list of standing calls with RTT (see: Real Time Transcription (RTT) Project), they are : ALAC, ALT-Plus, CPWG and AFRALO monthly calls.
14:21:47 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Thats true Cheryl..
14:21:51 From Glenn McKnight to Everyone:
Includes CROP trips too I assume
14:22:21 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
@heidi they have always been OFB-WG and were in the past year. As this is a policy group
14:22:24 From Alfredo Calderon - ICANN72 Mentor to Everyone:
+1 @Cheryl. Your statement makes more sense than asking the question. Asking for confirmation is wiser.
14:22:42 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
I don't think PTI has CROP slots :)
14:23:04 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
It was always the two policy groups and then the ALAC meetings
14:23:33 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
And then we added in the Capacity building WG and then we added in Afralo
14:23:57 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
Can you make sure this is the order going forward
14:24:20 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
Also what happened to calls in other languages have we gotten that going yet
14:24:49 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
@Judith, we’ll take this offline re the new set of calls for RTT.
14:25:24 From Glenn McKnight to Everyone:
@maureen, I caught the tail end of the discussion , correct on the PTI issue
14:28:44 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
It may even relate to planning for new gTLD round(s)
14:28:49 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
@Judith - we will put the new RTT plan into the OFBWG workplan for 2022
14:28:57 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
many moving parts
14:30:18 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
@maureen. Thanks so much. Not sure how it got dropped off
14:31:00 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Good work @Riccardo Thank You!
14:31:05 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Google doc to create the comment from the working group - for others to contribute more ideas - great idea
14:34:36 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Dates for PC is the issue indeed
14:34:45 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
WE can work on the development of the comment online..
14:35:27 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
We need to meet before the closing date. So the 21st makes sense.. for those who can make it.
14:35:48 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
The Google doc can be used to add any comments to be considered.
14:35:57 From Heidi Ullrich to Everyone:
Understand everyone might not be able to make it.
14:36:01 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
+1
14:36:08 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Well if those who can gather do so at least there can be a sign off as well as the GDoc contributions
14:37:06 From Judith Hellerstein to Everyone:
Can you send us the link to the google doc or is it on the agenda
14:37:26 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
they will when it is created @Judith
14:38:29 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Bye for now... Thanks everyone.... Safe travels @Maureen
14:38:49 From Maureen Hilyard to Everyone:
Thanks Cheryl.. rushing around frantically
