RE: [bc-gnso] Proposed BC comment on ICANN proposed budget for 2012

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for the confusing post?  I meant to include the text that I suggest
should replace that section.  Here is my proposed text, which eliminates the
notion that Chairs decide this issue, and states a clear preference for
Councilors to be funded so that they can do the job to which they are
elected:

 

We support the present approach whereby the Constituencies authorize the
funding of 2 reps per CSG constituency, per ICANN meeting.  The funds should
be earmarked for Councilor travel, except where the Councilor is unavailable
for travel, has alternate funding, or otherwise agrees.  While this funding
is rightfully intended to support councilors, so that they can perform the
job to which they are elected, some flexibility to its allocation is
important.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks Chris and others for all the hard work on this.  I am in agreement
except as to one point, which has been a point of contention within the BC
in the past.

 

I suggest a change to the section re GNSO Travel funding.  Specifically I
would replace that section:

 

We support the present approach whereby the chairs of the Constituencies/SGs
authorize the funding to the 2 reps per entity. While this usually does end
up supporting councilors, the flexibility to its allocation is important and
has been of benefit when a councilor can?t travel, or when it is possible to
spread the funding across multiple attendees. Such flexibility by ICANN is
an improvement over a rigid process and we want to comment ICANN for this
improvement.

 

Also, the ?number of members? info at the end of the document appears
erroneous.

 

Best,

Mike
