[NCUC-EC] [time sensitive] Fwd: NCSG FC update and proposed way forward for input

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear all,

I had a call with that about the recent Finance Committee updates this week
and I would like to share with you his report.

Also important to bring attention to is the mechanism of community
consultation they developed - with a form - to collect suggestions. I would
really like to hear back from you on this.

Best,
bruna

Hi Bruna,



Just to give an update on latest development within the NCSG FC which some
might need the attention of NCUC EC.
*1.       **Recent NCSG FC meeting*
The FC held a meeting on the 4th of January 2018, 1pm UTC (*recording*) and
the purpose of the meeting was to review progress, updates, new
developments and forging a way forward. Some of the agenda items included:
Minutes of previous 3 meetings, ICANN64 meeting, matters arising - ABRs,
ICANN budget and community comments, call for more volunteers, CIVI CRM
actions needed- way forward and closure (you can follow the recordings for
a detailed report).
*   Outcomes of the meeting*:
    -          The FC to lead drafts on ICANN budget comments and send out
a memo to the community and ask for ABR submission.
   -          Resolution around the bank account still not clear but seems
like there is progress according to the mailing list discussion. The Chair
of NCSG believes that I is risky to incorporate NCSG. Financial
responsibility concerns were also raised as the FC has to always ensure
that NCSG has sufficient funds to pay for its operational on contract
related fees with posing a financial burden on members.


*2.       **The proposed way forward regarding ABR (please provide
comments):*

Purpose: to create a light weight ABR process in order to simplify and
analyse the submission process:
  -          Development of an online form where community members can
submit their suggestions, ideas and recommendations regarding ABRs, in line
with ABR principles
  -          Design of this online form to also serve as a mini survey in
order to understand the need, priorities and interest of members and *please
provide advise accordingly* (by 10 Jan)
  -          Circulation via NCSG and NCUC mailing list, the call for
participation in the ABR fact-finding survey (by 11 Jan)
  -          Engagement of committees, NCSG and constituency ECs regarding
finding and results
  -          Submission of ABRs after review of applications (by 15
December)


Please also note that the FC still need volunteers as it currently has few
members who can priorities on its activities. The ABR submission is pretty
urgent, thus a prompt responses would be very helpful at this stage to
ensure we submit before the deadline.

This also presents an opportunity for NCSG and NCUC to work more closely in
this ABR process to ensure that activities of the stakeholder group and
constituency and fairly supported.

that was created in during 2018, to help with some background on historical
submissions.



Thato Mfikwe.
