I had some informal discussion with Chris Gift from ICANN staff about additional IT service support for NCUC. there is possibility to get such budget if we make it and having clear idea about what we want exactly. That can be made with the coming FY17 special budget request. On other hand, we should be cautious about being increasingly becoming dependent of ICANN support. we have to find the balance like using ICANN budget and NCUC funding. I also think the budget for the membership system is going to be in yearly basis to include the support and maintenance.</div><div> </div><div>@James @Tapani can we think about assessing NCUC basic needs (including the website and civicrm based membership system) and also thinking about possible services we may want to have too in future. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Rafik</div></div></div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Agree. I would just add that the role would actually require more skills than just website (i.e., Wordpress) administration. NCUC also needs someone experienced with general Linux admin, database management, and even familiarity with CiviCRM
which NCSG will be bringing online in near future. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It looks great, James. Though I will just add - now there are discussions around At-Large getting at least a 0.5 FTE website administrator, it might be worth exploring what this individual will be doing the rest of their working week -
and can they be hired to help us, too, possibly? <u></u><u></u></p>
