> Dear Elisa, Kristina, Marie-laure, Bill, Tony and Rafik,
>  
> The purpose of this note is to report to you on staff progress regarding the development and provision of part-time in-kind secretariat support services to your communities on a pilot basis in FY15. Thanks to original input from your leadership teams since late last year and follow-up advice in and around the Singapore meeting, we have been able to make substantial progress on the effort.
>  
> Since the Singapore meeting, Benedetta Rossi and I have been hard at work putting the final aspects of the program together so that we could assure the Board and senior ICANN staff that the effort would merit support in FY15.
>  
> During that time we have been able to:
>  
> ·      Finalize the set of support services that we will be able to deliver.
> ·      Settle on a staffing plan that would enable us to offer and manage support in a consistent manner to all of your communities
> ·      Secure funding for the program for the entire FY15 year, and
> ·      Identify prospective service providers and begin the interview process with a set of six finalists
>  
> As a result of these efforts we are hopeful to have part-time secretariat resources available for you by the end of June – if not before the ICANN Public Meeting in London.
>  
> Set forth in the attached documents you will find an overview of our implementation plan including the menu of specific services that we will be able to provide to you with our new resources and a job description document outlining the responsibilities expected and the specific skill sets we are looking for from prospective contractors.
>  
> Please take a look at those documents and share any questions or comments you have with Benedetta and me. We are happy to have separate conversations with any of you or your leadership teams to discuss how we hope we will be able to ramp-up the service capabilities so that you will all experience a smooth transition with minimal difficulties.
>  
> Thank you for your input and advice before, during and after the ICANN Public Meeting Singapore AND for all your patience over the past year as we have struggled to bring this capability to fruition. We are almost there!
>  
> We look forward to making this resource a reality quite soon for all of you.
>  
> Best regards,
>  
> Rob
