11:59:59 From Bill Jouris to Everyone:
Does anybody actually have enough information to have a discussion?
12:00:38 From Bill Jouris to Everyone:
Gossip, sure. As opposed to discussion
12:01:47 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Okay, go ahead Holly. Good to use things twice
12:04:35 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:
Action Items - Action Items : At-Large Operations, Finance and Budget Working Group
12:05:56 From Heidi Ullrich - ICANN Org to Everyone:
I assume there will be more updates at the next call given the deadline for At-Large FY24 ABRs to be sent to staff is tomorrow.
12:09:47 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
INdeed Heidi
12:11:25 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:
@Heidi, can staff send a reminder to all At-Large, RALO email lists of the ABRs, with this deadline of tomorrow.
12:11:30 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:
Thank you very much
12:17:11 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
That is indeed my understanding as well SeB the Prof services is FOR the projects allocated funds etc.,
12:17:37 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Yes 1% is a safe and conservative estimate
12:18:18 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
where in the text does it say it is the costs of managing SFICR?
12:18:35 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
clearly I need to re read this section
12:20:23 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:
In column 4 (TOTAL), of the 171 million inn total expenses, first four items are all related to personnel, internal and external, and the cost of their travel and meetings, and only a million is shown as Capital, ICANN needs to be generous in its budget for people and in facilitating ease of work, but only a million on Capital sounds disproportionate. Are Capital outlays and allocations for any infrastructure shown in a different sheet?
12:21:31 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:
Or, we can reach another conclusion: ICANN does not have any more money than to meet its administrative costs, and something needs to be done about that.
12:27:23 From Dave Kissoondoyal ALAC to Everyone:
hello everyone. I am sorry to join late
12:27:42 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Remember, the growth from 389 to 413 does NOT include the 5FTE for the grant- as shown on the chart
12:29:17 From Maureen Hilyard ALAC to Everyone:
I agree @Marita. we need to look at the grant number outside of the general budget but understandable that it is confusing when it is included here.about overall FTEs
12:32:38 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Yes, the different funds start to get confusing. I like seeing it broken out. New gtlds is supposed to be self funding for example -- not general operations funds
12:33:00 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
+1 Marita
12:35:16 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Yes @Marita but with new GTLDs you have to build and start the System/process/capabilities well *before* any income is received let alone freed for any 'use'as such
12:36:03 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
apparently the funds are there for that already from the last round @CLO
12:36:42 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
the cost recovery model of new gTLDs is why the frontloading questioned and answered is so important to have clearly articulated
12:37:27 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
In the webinar they noted that some operating initiatives had been combined
12:37:36 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Those fnds are still held in contingency until all strings finalised and YES that can be a long time held and not accessible fir use
12:37:56 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
Indeed @Marita
12:43:32 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:
It appears that ICANN hasn't allocated any money to buy a laptop, a printer, new clothes or a wrist watch.
12:44:53 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:
Thank you for the reply. ICANN needs to move away from copying Corporate models of governance, American or transnational.
12:45:00 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:
that is correct, they do not buy a thing, they rent or lease those equipments instead
12:46:54 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
MSM in particular is multi year
12:48:18 From Cheryl Langdon-Orr to Everyone:
they do admit the polling questions were poorly designed
12:50:54 From Marita Moll to Everyone:
Cheryl has her hand up
12:50:55 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:
+1 on the slide about the need to go beyond online ICANN Learn.
12:52:48 From Michelle DeSmyter - ICANN Org to Everyone:
Hand up by Cheryl
12:53:10 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:

12:54:21 From Holly Raiche to Everyone:
Thanks Siva
12:55:11 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:
How are IANA operating costs funded?
12:55:35 From Ricardo Holmquist to Everyone:

12:56:14 From Sivasubramanian M to Everyone:
