<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">You guys seem to be completely missing my point about funding requests.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The point is not that we should be "unilateral ascetics" while all the others are sticking their snouts in the trough and lapping up whatever is there, but
that we should not prevent the emergence of a "gimme" culture in which constituencies perpetually ask ICANN to fund whatever idea they have on an ad hoc - and competitive - basis. We should push for FIXED amounts of support that are absolutely UNIFORM across
all constituencies. We then make our own decisions about how that money is spent.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So no, we should not have to ask for "specific things such as e-platforms." ICANN should provide a fixed, appropriate sum for constituency-related management.
That sum should be absolutely the same for ALL constituencies or SGs. If we think we need to spend that money on e-platforms, we spend it on e-platforms.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Do you not see the obvious reasons for my approach? It avoids the rat race, the corruption and the problems that stem from the ad hoc approach. If we ask for
this that and the other thing; NPOC asks for that plus three other things; Cade asks for that times five and whatever else her febrile imagination can think of; then we have to match that demand, or risk being outstripped in the amount of resources we get
form ICANN. It is an obvious rate race that we can't win, a classic tragedy of the commons scenario, in which whoever runs out and demands and grabs for the most at the expense of other constituencies, wins.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Our approach to these demands should be very simple: give constituencies a fixed amount each year. Propose a reasonable amount. Ensure that that amount is exactly
what all constituencies get, nothing more, nothing less. NO EXCEPTIONS. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">As soon as you introduce lobbying and competition and ad hoc ICANN funding requests, you triple the amount of time we have to spend on this and you trigger
a competitive game which gives ICANN tremendous discretionary power over who gets what. The task is to avoid that.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So, Maria's approach:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">"</span> Overall, from my days on staff, I think we'll do well out of this if we put in a good number of finite/discrete requests with decent rationales to
them. They'll feel they have to give us something."<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Is EXACTLY what we need to avoid. It sounds innocent enough considered in isolation, but you are missing the obvious competitive game it sets into motion from
the other constituencies. They, too, will all think "ask for the moon, and they will have to give us something." The whole approach is poisonous. It creates a game we cannot win.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">1 Endorsing what Bill has said; there's no reason to be backwards about asking for $$ for specific things such as e-platforms, and I'll share that message and the timings with the relevant list. They need to narrow down what it is they
want to build, platform-wise, and then we can work with them to put the application together. <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">2 Brendan, on the call I think the message re. the deadline was that they'll do rolling considerations of applications received and prefer to get them sooner rather than later. I suspect there may be a somewhat
higher chance of success for getting it in sooner, i.e. in advance of March 22 deadline, but that's just my hunch. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">3 Bill, re. the IGF Azerbajan event, yes yes yes. In fact I have some ideas about that, content-wise that I'll share with you. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Last year we asked for and received less than pretty much everyone else in ICANN land. Personally, I see no point in maintaining a principled asceticism that is not shared by or even known to anyone else. We will not be corrupted if we
ask for a little support for e-platforms, admin, outreach, whatever, so hopefully we can start from a vision of where we'd like to be go and leverage opportunities accordingly.<o:p></o:p></p>

the Budget Process, Timeline, Structure and Content by utilizing the existing expertise within the Community. With 2 Webinar/Conference Calls and 1 Face to Face in Toronto, this group gained a lot of ground on what works, what doesn’t, what can be changed
in one fiscal year, and how to continue working together in the next budget cycle. Not all perfect, but absolutely big strides in the right direction to a better working relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
