2.5. UPDATE August 7, 2015 (Pending)

Allen Grogan has posted an additional response to this page (see below) in which he has indicated ICANN made changes to the ICANN Portfolio Management System Plan Overview. 

2.6. A More Detailed Look at Akram Atallah's Role in terms of Portfolio and Budget

2.6.1. "Support the evolution of domain name marketplace to be robust, stable and trusted"

The budget has become more obfuscated, removing names and titles, as opposed to the version seen above in 2.1 from FY13. Without more specifics being provided by ICANN we have to compare the Portfolio Goals with the Budget Line Items, particularly Akram Atallah's FY16 portfolio goals as "Shepherd". In terms of the ICANN Portfolio Management System Atallah has two major Goals as Shepherd which match major budget sections: Foster and coordinate a healthy, secure, stable, and resilient identifier ecosystem and Support the evolution of domain name marketplace to be robust, stable and trusted. (The following is a composite image from the ICANN Portfolio system and the FY16 Budget):

...

The budget section entitled: 2.3-Support the evolution of domain name marketplace to be robust, stable and trusted includes the following budget line items: 2.3.10 New gTLD Program, 2.3.11 Next gTLD Round, 2.3.12 Outreach and Relationship Management with Existing and new Registry, Registrar Community, 2.3.13 Registrar Services, 2.3.14 Registry Services, 2.3.2. Domain Name Services, 2.3.5 Contractual Compliance Functions, 2.3.6 Contractual Compliance Initiatives & Improvements, 2.3.7 Contractual Compliance & Consumer Safeguard, 2.3.8 GDD Online Services Product Management, and 2.3.9 Internationalized Domain Names. The Compliance budget falls under a portfolio that Atallah is the "Shepherd" of and is bundled with the Global Domains Division budget and other items that Atallah manages. It is important to note that the budget document is titled "FY16 Budget By Portfolio and Project" which makes a direct reference to the Portfolio Goals of the "Shepherds".

2.6.2. "Foster and coordinate a healthy, secure, stable, and resilient identifier ecosystem"

According to the FY16 Operating Plan and Budget Adopted by ICANN Board at ICANN 53 in Buenos Aires, all the Contractual Compliance functions fall under "Foster and coordinate a healthy, secure, stable, and resilient identifier ecosystem" which has Akram Atallah as the "Shepherd". 

...

From the "Fadi Chehade, Shepherd" page click on "Foster and coordinate a healthy, secure, stable, and resilient identifier ecosystem", this will open the "Akram Atallah, Shepherd" page. View the FY16 Budget by Project and Portfolio to see that Contractual Compliance Functions are part of the "Foster..." portfolio. The budget control of compliance is still under Akram Atallah.
