[Ncuc-af] [NCUC-DISCUSS] [Call for applications] NCUC appointee to NCSG Finance Committee

Sun Feb 24 14:28:16 CET 2019

Hi all,

I will reapply, thanks for the go ahead. I would also further urge that we
need strong representation qualitatively, within NCSG, its committees and
constituencies in whatever capacity. The regional presence and engagement
efforts need to improved within the community in order for members to start
being more active and involved. As the current Chair of the FC, it is not
easy to change or improve the current status quo, although there are clear
synergy and collaboration challenges between the FC and other committees of
NCSG based of misunderstanding or misinterpretation on the role and
priorities of the FC, sometimes also by the community.

Please note that the NCSG Finance Commitee needs support in terms of
volunteers to help with a huge work backlog, so I encourage all members to
participate whenever a call for volunteers is made because the Finance
Committee presents another opportunity to participate within NCSG
activities. Furthermore the work of the FC is not too technical and you do
not need a solid background to start participating, basic understanding
accounting principles and how ICANN works, ability to read financial
information and providing inputs or comments should be sufficient in order
for one start participating. Amongst other tracks, the focus areas of the
NCSG FC include drafting community comments and providing directive and
advice on the following:

- ABRs

-  ICANN, PTI/IANA budget and plans
- Fundraising

- Reserve Funds
- New gTLD Auction
Proceed
- Auditing, accounting and budgeting
- Compliance to NCSG Charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/filefield_25801/ncsg-charter-05may11-en.pdf>
(especially section 2.6 which relates to the FC)     - Compliance to FC
Operational Procedues which are still in draft format

To learn more about the Finance Commitee, please make sure you join our
meeting in Kobe on the 13th of March 2019, meeting link

Also hoping for the best, thanks once again.

Thato Mfikwe.
