[NCUC-DISCUSS] Questions and talking points for ICANN CEO

[Stephanie Perrin]

The principle is the following, in my view:  outgoing council and chair 
should not make decisions for incoming, when they will not be there in 
office (i.e. to do the work.  They should consult.  If it is too late to 
change this decision, I can assure you that next year, I will consult 
the incoming folks to get their views.

As Ayden says, forfeiting such a large budget amount is a pity.  We 
could have figured out how to make it useful.
