The discussion focused on the main points of the ccNSO Strategic and Operational Planning and the work done by the Finance WG. The main points the discussion were:
Greater clarity, enhanced description of specific goals of activities and the addition of measurable objectives, where they are missing.
The spiralling ICANN costs, in particular the budgeted 13% overall expenditure increase compared with a budgeted 6.5% overall revenue increase. In particular the discussion focused on the 15 % increase in professional services and the increase in staff costs. With regard to the increase the ccTLD’s expressed their concern on to manage all these professionals and their contracts In relation to the staff costs the ccTLD community present noted the planned increase of almost 25 % in staffing in FY2012 and the management issues this raises.
The concerns of the ccNSO of the initial 30% increase in ccTLD related costs, with initially no explanation or justification, and the very late reduction of USD 2.0 Million as a result from the input of the SOP WG.
