<div class="">Could it be useful to request the support of a 0.5 FTE policy consultant (of the NCSG's choosing), to support our ongoing policy development activities? I am thinking of someone to document past NCSG policy positions by creating an archived and
searchable observatory of past NCSG, NCUC, and NPOC statements, and to engage in policy research activities in areas where volunteer burn-out has us stretched to capacity.<br class="">

Good idea, but we will not get it as we rejected the concept before (A huge mistep by us IMO)</div>

<div class="">In addition, could we perhaps ask for a modest, one-off contribution of $50,000 to 'kick start' a Stakeholder Group Support Fund, given we have established over the past week on our list that the NCSG has no money. I would suggest that we would
only use this Support Fund to support our advocacy work and independent research on the DNS, and we would cap spend at max. $20k/year, and that it would not be used to fund travel.</div>

I think that a more specific version of this could be useful, it needs to be for a specific reason however, a “to do what we want with” won’t get approved IMO.<br class="">

<div class="">ICANN Org is receiving additional Budget Requests until Jan 15th. Therefore NCUC Leadership would like to welcome your suggestions and ideas on possible submissions. <br class="">

<div class="">Given that the deadline for submission to ICANN is 15th Jan, <b class="">
we would like to set an internal deadline for constituency discussion/receiving of proposals until the 14th Jan, noon (utc). I would also welcome any volunteers to help drafting requests. </b><br class="">

<div class="">Please note <span style="" class="">that the budget requests being accepted now are for the fiscal year 2020 (which I believe runs 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020). Also bear in mind that in light of some budget cuts being proposed/performed by ICANN
org, our requests should be strategic and aligned with the NCUC mission and values.</span><br class="">
