Dear Raphael,

 

I have looked through the ABR draft google doc and left a few comments and suggestions. Apologize for making it last minute.

 

To be honest I spent quite some time looking through ICANN reports on approved and denied ABRs trying to figure out what other requests we could make. At least my personal conclusion is that many requests are repeated from year to year. It is even more complicated given the remote mode of our interactions during the last year. Hopefully, if this ABR gets accepted we'll manage to improve our online presence, which is indeed very important.

 

Apart from ABR, my big concern is how to make membership more involved and pro-active. It is smth that none ABR would help us to solve but it is also a huge challenge. So let's think maybe we could indeed use our ICANN 70 slot in some more innovative, interesting and efficient way.

 

Have a great day and thanks for putting this ABR together!

 

Best,

Olga

Hi all, 

 

Another follow up:

 

It appears that like NCSG (and NPOC), we dispose of a 10 000 USD/year allowance for technical expenses. 

 

For those of you unfamiliar with how this kind of "money" works, I'll be happy to provide a more detailed explanation during our next call. 

 

In any case, the realization of that prompted me to rephrase our ABR, in order to make Org understand that our request is one for guidance in how to best make use of that money, rather than having it spent on figuring things out with a commercial web developer, for example. 

 

So even if you had a look previously, I would kindly ask you to have a look at the request form again in order to make sure that this idea is clearly conveyed. 

 

A simple request for money for technical expenses, or expenses related to promotional materials, will simply be denied on the basis that we already dispose of money for such things. 

 

Thank you for your collaboration and have a nice day,

A quick follow up I forgot: RySG asked for something equivalent last year and it got denied, on the basis that Org is "reconsidering" its approach to IT support to community groups. We may get a similar answer this year. Let's see...

Dear all,

 

Submission is due soon; Ben and I have thrown some ideas on the doc although it is far from being complete/properly written out (apologies in advance for that)

I'd be glad if you could jump in, if only to do some clean up/flesh ideas out more properly. 

 

Thank you for your collaboration!

 

Have a nice day,
