Comments on draft FY22 budget 

RH has concerns with funds for new gTLDs. Some inconsistencies with regards to reserve funds. Also, there are 15 initiatives to which funds are allocated - UA/IDNs/MSM seem to be underfunded.

MM - Agreed with JH re some funds were from different streams. They separated it from the main. budget. 

HR - Operations. - MSM; evolving and involving community decision making;  internal/external ethics policies; UA

CLO - Terminology (irregularity is a strong word); Contingency Fund (at least one year's Operations budget); Consider how this information will be presented to the Board.
