Hi all,<br><br>Here's a quick update on the call that just finished on next year's ICANN budget process. <br><br>Short version: just a kick-off call, but check the community wiki further on in December for initial draft budget materials. <br>
<br>Alain and I were both on the call (please add anything I've forgotten, Alain!). <br><br>This process doesn't really get going till early next year, and the financial year it's for starts in July. <br><br>Will keep you posted once it gets going. <br>
<br>All the best, Maria<br><br><br>29 Nov Ad Hoc Group on FY2014 Budget process meeting summary:<br>
