<div><font>Hi Rafik,</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font>I want to engage with this document but I am not sure how I can do so. Is there a line-by-line breakdown of the budget? I've downloaded the FY17 Operating Plan & Budget, along with the supporting Excel worksheets, but it is hard to know what 'wins' we were allocated for the financial year ahead. Searching for keywords like 'NCUC' etc doesn't yield anything.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font>I remember back in February that the EC requested translation support, capacity building training, and travel support to the IGF, among other things. Which of our budget requests were approved? What did the rest of the GNSO get? How can I find the budget requests which were sought by and approved for other SO/ACs?</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font>I appreciate you shared the links below to generate interest for FY18 and beyond, and the Strategic Plan which we should be intimately familiar with, but the title of the document has piqued my interest in what the NCUC has won in the shorter term. I am not an accountant and I cannot scrutinise the budget too carefully, but I can at least try to make sure that we in the community are all being allocated resources equitably.</font></div><div><font><br></font></div><div></div><div style="box-sizing: content-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; transition: all 150ms ease-in-out; position: relative; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; widows: 1;"></div><div style="box-sizing: content-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; transition: all 150ms ease-in-out; position: relative; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; widows: 1;"></div><div></div><div></div><div style="box-sizing: content-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; transition: all 150ms ease-in-out; position: relative;"><font>I also observed the inconsistent application of the Geographic Regions Framework in these budget documents. As the Global Stakeholder Engagement team has grown in size, it would appear the world has been divided into ever more arbitrary regions, inconsistent with ICANN's own guidelines for doing this. To me, this is only more ammunition that ICANN's Geographic Regions Framework is not fit for purpose, but I digress... </font></div><div></div><div></div><div style="box-sizing: content-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; transition: all 150ms ease-in-out; position: relative; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; widows: 1;"></div><div><font><br></font></div><div><font>Ayden</font></div><div>
