BUDGET DOCUMENTS:

i.                       FRAMEWORK:
 

LOOKING BACK:  

STARTED IN 2008 FOR FY2009  - A BUDGET FRAMEWORK WAS PRODUCED FOR THE NEW DELHI MEETING (hyperlink to document to be provided)

BECAME A “ 1ST DRAFT” OPERATING PLAN AND BUDGET (ALREADY BAKED VERSION)….THEN CHANGED INTO A PPT PERSPECTIVE
 

GOING FORWARD: 

FROM STAFF PERSPECTIVE:

Looking Back in Time:

  • Started Framework in 2008 for FY2009 Budget when a budget framework in ppt was produced for the New Delhi Meeting
  • FY2010 the format was the same as the draft Budget and Operating Plan; community feedback...document was "half-baked"
  • FY2011 and 2012 the format returned to a powerpoint


Going Forward:  

From Staff Perspective:

In the current timeframe that the Framework is scheduled At the time the current framework is schedule to be posted for comment, it is staff’s challenge to provide meaningful financial and operations data for community to consider.

Framework should be high level document to drive initial  discussion with community.  An example of this would be to present ICANN budget baseline for coming year based on exit run rate from previous year, an analysis of spending and forecasted strategic objectives and the fiscal year priorities that are being considered. From this, community input will be to focused on incremental work, projects, and new core activities from a high level perspective ie Does does ICANN reduce fees, if there is excess or surplus, should it be added to reserve fund, what are other uses for reserve fund, input on headcount based on strategic priorities.  

Suggestion is that this kind of information noted above is provided to community in advance of pre-scheduled community worksessions, as well as opportunity to comment on wiki.  As an initial consultation, this would no longer go through a formal public comment period, but we would always reach out through community leaders and ICANN staff to engage whoever n community would like to access the wiki to engage in comment and discussion.
 

FROM COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVEFrom Community Perspective:: 

What is the perceived rationale and value for the current framework document?  How much time should the staff and community spend on this document if the current content is not “hitting the mark” of community expectations?
