<div dir="ltr">Dear EC, <div><br></div><div>The deadline for Additional Budget Requests is coming up. I put out a call for suggestions at our list but there has been no response so far. <br><br>As you know, ABRs are a good opportunity to point out to ICANN org some activities or areas within our mission that need a little more attention and funding. For this year, I will submit the same one on Comms that we have been doing for the past years but due to some current conflicts at our community, i would also like to try for an ABR that would built a bit more on Advocacy and CS at ICANN. What I am telling you here is obviously an initial idea - open to comments and suggestions - but it would be great to build up on the success of the Policy Writing course and come up with another request that would allow our members to better understand the importance of our groups and increase the actions in advocating on behalf of our mission. <br><br>Let me know what you think and if anyone would like to help/has additional ideas of ABRs! <br><br>best, <br>B. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>De : <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Maryam Bakoshi</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:maryam.bakoshi@icann.org">maryam.bakoshi@icann.org</a>></span><br>Date: mar. 14 janv. 2020 à 21:17<br>Subject: ABR DUE 31 JAN<br>To: Stephanie Perrin <<a href="mailto:stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca">stephanie.perrin@mail.utoronto.ca</a>>, <a href="mailto:bruna.mrtns@gmail.com">bruna.mrtns@gmail.com</a> <<a href="mailto:bruna.mrtns@gmail.com">bruna.mrtns@gmail.com</a>>, Joan Kerr <<a href="mailto:joankerr@fbsc.org">joankerr@fbsc.org</a>>, Sam Lanfranco <<a href="mailto:lanfran@yorku.ca">lanfran@yorku.ca</a>><br>Cc: Rafik Dammak <<a href="mailto:rafik.dammak@gmail.com">rafik.dammak@gmail.com</a>><br></div><br><br>
