ICANN Ad Hoc Group on FY2014 Budget process - update

[Alain Berranger]

Thks Maria,

Your report seems complete to me.

Eduardo Monge, NPOC's Acting Treasurer was also on the call for the first
45 minutes and Bill Drake also participated.

Personally, I would add that the big change, in my opinion is the
introduction of the CEO Management Portfolio Vision, a kind of overarching
budget nomenclature that will list all existing and new budget items under
one of the CEO's 4 priorities, going by memory and my own words I recall,
in no special order: internationalization, clarity of ICANN mission,
improving operations and improving the MS model.

To further elaborate on Maria's note, I have noted that the community of
usually 8-12 people that the ICANN budget team bounces ideas on is made up
of volunteers from the various groups and is pretty informal, with some
community reps always attending all meetings and calls while other
communities seem to "appoint" different reps at different times. Marilyn
Cade, the BC Chair suggested a more formal working group to enhance more
consultation, accountability and transparence. I supported it but fully
realize it is not always possible for one or two community reps to always
be present..

Maria, that's all I can add, maybe Eduardo and Bill can add their two-cents?

Cheers, Alain
