[NCUC Finance] Budget Requests Due This Friday

Hi

If we want to submit regular budget requests to ICANN they are due this Friday 19th.  I am leaving for Panama early Thursday and am mightily jammed up in between, so would appreciate any quick guidance and assistance…templates and past submissions at https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/Community+Group+Workspace

Regarding an annual conference, I'm not sure what to ask for besides a room with remote participation and translation, or whether they want numbers attached to each it (some budget requests I've looked at have them, others leave blank spaces for staff to decide).  Robin, maybe you could tell us what you've asked for and gotten before?

Regarding anything of a publicity/outreach nature, I already submitted a Fast Track request for $2k for print materials.  It may be that a simple brochure is all we can manage, bandwidth-wise, in which case this is sufficient.  I didn't detect a lot of enthusiasm for my suggestions of a Newsletter or Issue Brief to be released prior to each meeting.  Happy to be corrected.

Regarding anything else….They're not going to give us money for more travel slots than other constituencies get, or for more external outreach events on top of IGF.  The only thing that might make sense to submit is to take the text from my GNSO Tool Kit response on having an annual one day retreat for new EC members and put it into a budget item, as I seem to recall someone (maybe Glen or Rob) suggesting this would be better than doing it under the Tool Kit.

Thoughts?

Bill

I will have almost no time to work on them, after returning from Beijing I'm in Geneva for three days, Zurich for one teaching, and then off to Panama for the summer school.  So I won't be able to decide solo what we want for the next fiscal year and then do the apps, a group effort this time would be really welcome.

I am merely measuring interest, not suggesting it is mandatory, and I'm not even sure it is necessary. It is likely, however, that we will not have as many members in one place for the remainder of our term. If we need a theme it could merely be 'where do we go from here?'.
