[NCUC-DISCUSS] ABRs - Welcoming suggestions until 14th Jan, noon (utc time).

[Ayden Férdeline]

Just thinking out loud-

Could it be useful to request the support of a 0.5 FTE policy consultant (of the NCSG's choosing), to support our ongoing policy development activities? I am thinking of someone to document past NCSG policy positions by creating an archived and searchable observatory of past NCSG, NCUC, and NPOC statements, and to engage in policy research activities in areas where volunteer burn-out has us stretched to capacity.

In addition, could we perhaps ask for a modest, one-off contribution of $50,000 to 'kick start' a Stakeholder Group Support Fund, given we have established over the past week on our list that the NCSG has no money. I would suggest that we would only use this Support Fund to support our advocacy work and independent research on the DNS, and we would cap spend at max. $20k/year, and that it would not be used to fund travel.

Best wishes, Ayden Férdeline

Also bear in mind that in light of some budget cuts being proposed/performed by ICANN org, our requests should be strategic and aligned with the NCUC mission and values.
