I would also further urge that we need strong representation qualitatively, within NCSG, its committees and constituencies in whatever capacity. The regional presence and engagement efforts need to improved within the community in order for members to start being more active and involved. As the current Chair of the FC, it is not easy to change or improve the current status quo, although there are clear synergy and collaboration challenges between the FC and other committees of NCSG based of misunderstanding or misinterpretation on the role and priorities of the FC, sometimes also by the community.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Please note that the NCSG Finance Commitee needs support in terms of volunteers to help with a huge work backlog, so I encourage all members to participate whenever a call for volunteers is made because the Finance Committee presents another opportunity to participate within NCSG activities. Furthermore the work of the FC is not too technical and you do not need a solid background to start participating, basic understanding accounting principles and how ICANN works, ability to read financial information and providing inputs or comments should be sufficient in order for one start participating. Amongst other tracks, the focus areas of the NCSG FC include drafting community comments and providing directive and advice on the following:</div><div><br></div><div>- ABRs - ICANN, PTI/IANA budget and plans</div><div>- Fundraising - Reserve Funds<br></div><div>- New gTLD Auction Proceed - Auditing, accounting and budgeting</div><div>- Compliance to <a href="https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_25801/ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf">NCSG Charter</a> (especially section 2.6 which relates to the FC) - Compliance to FC Operational Procedues which are still in draft format<br></div><div><br></div><div>To learn more about the Finance Commitee, please make sure you join our meeting in Kobe on the 13th of March 2019, <a href="https://64.schedule.icann.org/meetings/962170">meeting link</a>.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Also hoping for the best, thanks once again.</div><div><br></div><div>Thato Mfikwe. <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Feb 24, 2019 at 10:13 AM Wisdom Donkor <<a href="mailto:wisdom.dk@gmail.com">wisdom.dk@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Thanks Ines, <div>I will support Thato for another term<br><br>On Thursday, February 21, 2019, hfaiedh ines <<a href="mailto:hfaiedh.ines2@gmail.com" target="_blank">hfaiedh.ines2@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Dear NCUC Africa members,<div><br></div><div>Here s the call for applications to the Finance Committee, Deadline is soon Feb 25th.<br><br>---------- Message transféré ----------<br>De : <b>Bruna Martins dos Santos</b> <<a href="mailto:bruna.mrtns@gmail.com" target="_blank">bruna.mrtns@gmail.com</a>><br>Date : mardi 12 février 2019<br>Objet : [NCUC-DISCUSS] [Call for applications] NCUC appointee to NCSG Finance Committee<br>À : NCUC Discuss <<a href="mailto:ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org" target="_blank">ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org</a>><br><br><br><div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr" style="font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.8;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Dear members,</font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="font-family:Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:1.8;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;white-space:pre-wrap">NCUC would like to invite applications for </span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;white-space:pre-wrap">Constituency representative to the NCSG Finance Committee for the coming year</span><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">.
