Detailed Information
Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose: 

The budget process and its outcome formalized in this document aims at establishing a detailed, documented description of the operational activities of the coming fiscal year and their financial impacts. The budget needs to be built with sufficient details to allow an adequate monitoring of activities during the year, while understanding the flexibility that is required to handle a reality that is always different than what was anticipated. Consistent with our multi-stakeholder model, this budget is the result of input from ICANN constituency groups, stakeholders, the Board of Directors and the ICANN Staff. The involvement of the various ICANN stakeholders in the operating plan and budget building process is a corner stone to the success of the multi-stakeholder model.

Section II: Background: 

New leadership has brought immediate focus on the transformation of the organization towards operational excellence, initiated a renewed and expanded stakeholders' engagement activity, and addressed the strategic requirements of the new gTLD programNew gTLD program. In fiscal year 2014, the organization will implement strategic initiatives designed in FY13: the transformation into a worldwide matrix organization, expanding ICANN's presence internationally, thus allowing a truly global stakeholders' engagement, implementing a DNS Industry Engagement organization, and further strengthening the infrastructure.

The impact of internationalization on the FY14 Budget expenses (Personnel, Travel & meeting, Professional services and administration) increased by $7.544 million as detailed in slide 22, while the whole cost of internationalization (FY13 + FY14) is 11.899 million as per slide 28. The ALAC thinks that the internationalization of ICANN deserves this financial effort since it is one of the most important changes that will make ICANN more global and less contested. 

The new New gTLD applicant support contribution ($138 k) is an expense for ICANN, not an income. The ALAC would appreciate an explanation on why it is put on slide 42 in the application fees to be received rather than in the expenses.

As for the new New gTLD program, Slide 43 shows that the staff allocation cost doubled in the full program current estimation compared to the prior estimation of June 2012. The ALAC would like to know the raison for this huge increase?
