submit no less than six requests to ICANN for budgetary support.  This
included two "fast track" applications for this fiscal year and four
regular cycle requests for the next fiscal year.  I'm very happy to
report that the board has approved the budget along with the staff's
recommended support for our applications.  (Have a look at
budget-requests-fy14-22aug13-en.pdf  ?we did better than some other,
more demanding constituencies, no names?)  These included:

summit.  Have followed up, will again.  Count on Singapore 21 March. 
When we are over the hump of the bylaws revision we should start
planning the Singpore meeting and the Jan/Feb. civil society roundtable
with Fadi./

pre-meeting prior to the ICANN Public Meeting in Singapore."

Singapore several days early to do this retreat, which will probably be
Thursday 30th, followed by the policy conference./

feedback in FY13, ICANN staff has made accommodations to continue to
provide GNSO non-contract community members with publication support in
the form of production and printing resources. The Communications Team
has established a process for this resource and will coordinate with the
NCUC and other interested non-contract communities. To manage costs, the
staff will work with ICANN vendors and suppliers on behalf of the
community."

noncommercial views we could for example produce prior to each ICANN
meeting a shiny doc with nice formatting summarizing our positions on
the issues that will be taken up at the meeting, etc./
