2. On 21 December 2017, the GNSO Council adopted the formation of the SCBO and its interim charter;
3. In FY18, the SCBO developed four public comments (IANA-PTI FY19 Budget, ICANN's Reserve Fund Target Level, ICANN's Draft FY19 Budget and Operating Plan, and ICANN Reserve Fund: Proposed Replenishment Strategy) on behalf of the GNSO Council that were later accepted and posted to ICANN's public forum;
4. On 24 October 2018, the GNSO Council voted to adopt the charter for the GNSO Standing Committee on Budget and Operations (SCBO) on a permanent basis;
5. On an annual basis, the SCBO developed and provided drafts public comment to the GNSO Council on the IANA-PTI Budget and ICANN’s Draft Budget and Operating Plan, which upon non-objection from the Council, were submitted to the relevant public comment proceeding;
6. Interest and engagement in the SCBO has waned and the substance of public comments has diminished;
7. The GNSO Council identified an opportunity to evolve the SCBO to better align with the needs of the Council as well as establish a consistent platform for the Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies to engage with the Finance and Planning team in a more streamlined and collaborative manner; and,
8. The GNSO Council leadership team coordinated with the GNSO Council and Stakeholder Group and Constituency leadership teams to ensure that they are supportive of the change to the SCBO.
