[NCUC-EC] NCUC Financial Picture

[Mueller, Milton L]

We have that money, yes. The important questions are:
Is it worth it? What are you getting for that? is it an ongoing expenditure or a one-off design? Are there good plans and commitments to maintain the website?

Hello Prof.,
Thank you for your response. Here is Ken's question...
The summary is  - do we have up to $3000 to spend on a website? More like what is our limit to spend on a project like this?

Kind regards,
Benjamin

Hello Milton.



Happy new year. I hope you are doing well.



I have a question about NCUC finances, and I understand you are the person to ask! (If not, please accept my apologies and perhaps let me know the right person).



As you may know, the NCUC Executive Committee is considering a proposal for the update/revamp of the group’s website. As we think about how to proceed, I would like to consider this activity within a wider context of funds availability. In other words, does the NCUC have dedicated resources and, if so, how much and what are the constraints? It occurs to me that we are discussing approving or recommending an action with a $3,000 cost and yet I know nothing about the financial resources that the group has to use at its discretion. (I distinguish this from financial resources “available” to the NCUC, since to me that means there are funds we can apply for from an outside source, such as the budget requests from ICANN org that comes along every now and then).



Can you help us to have a complete financial picture? It would help us in the EC to make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with an expenditure on the web site or perhaps invest in other actions that would have a higher priority and/or return.



Thank you and best regards.



Ken
