Summary
Board approves Ombudsman's Budget (part of the overall ICANN Budget) for fiscal year 2008-2009 at $450,000.00.
Text
This Board followed on from a discussion and presentation by the Ombudsman during the Paris Meeting and there was a general discussion regarding whether additional funds were required beyond last year's budget. It was noted that the Ombudsman had requested and submitted a budget with a significant increase, some of which was caused by currency fluctuations. There was a general discussion regarding a desire to maintain the Ombudsman budget at previous fiscal year levels. The Chair agreed that, if passed, he would contact the Ombudsman to ask him to resubmit his budget consistent with the numbers that they wished to approve at the same level as last year's approval, and it was understood that some items might need to be cut from the Ombudsman's original requested budget.
The Chair moved and the Chair of Finance Committee seconded the following resolution:
Resolved (2008.08.28.02), the Ombudsman's Budget (which is part of the overall ICANN Budget) for fiscal year 2008-2009 shall be approved at $450,000.00,
A voice vote was taken of all Board Members present, and the motion was approved by a vote of 13 to 0, with no abstentions
