This Workspace has been created to assist the ALAC/At-Large community in developing FY19 Additional Budget Request proposals. The Finance and Budget Sub-committee (FBSC) will review all proposals submitted and will agree on which to submit to ICANN on behalf of the ALAC.
FY19 Draft ALAC Criteria for Additional Budget Requests:
- Outreach should not be a major focus. Activities to improve engagement with existing members is encouraged.
- If any request is made on outreach, it should probably go through the CROP program and not this special request process.
- Proposals should include ways in which will make the ALAC and/or the At-Large community more effective and develop the At-Large community.
- RALO requests must go through a bottom up process within their RALO prior to being submitted for consideration by the FBSC.
- They must be explicitly supported by the RALO representative on the FBSC.
- Staff is currently expecting that basic resources for community communications/printing will be supported through the core ICANN budget, but that community proposals for printing , etc. will be accepted as a back-up in case expectations change. Specific proposals for communications resources beyond simple printing and editing functions should be prepared and submitted.
Important Documents and Resources from ICANN Finance:
December 5, 2017 marks the launch of the FY19 SO-AC Community Additional Budget Request process. As you know, this process pertains to a dedicated part of the overall ICANN annual budget that is set aside to fund specific requests from the community for activities that are not already included in the recurring ICANN budget.
