[bc-gnso] FY13 Operating Plan and Budget Comment - Fellowship

["Chris Chaplow" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Gabriela,

 

Thanks for your input and offer from a fellowship perspective.

 

Marilyn added (below) ?I did want to ask though, about the lack of detail in
the budget, such as the inability to find the Fellowship Program as a
detailed item; or the communications budget; totals for salary/benefits for
staff, etc. Were those not detailed in the Operating Plan and Budget? ?

 

As far as the Draft FY13 Budget and operating plan is concerned there are no
financials attributed to the fellowship  so not a lot to comment from a
budget perspective.    ?Fellowship? is mentioned  seven times in the text.
If you can download the document and word search these seven and see if
there is anything the BC should comment on here.

 

This is the Draft Budget

As far as the ?FY13 Public Comment Solicitation for FY13 Community Travel
Support Guidelines?

 

This is a much lighter document and a good one for  newer BC members to help
with as it does not require any historical knowledge.

This document is mainly a resumen of the current status but does have a
section on fellowship and some other mentions so you will be able to
validate the info

Thank you Chris, 

 

I agree with Marilyn: As one of the two fellows you are referring to, I am
grateful the BC supports the fellowship program and agree to support small
business participants from developing countries. 

 

>From my experience, most SMEs from my region are unaware of the work ICANN
does.  

 

In that sense, as we have been discussing, I believe that the BC interest to
support the fellowship program, must come together with outreach targeted
activities. I will be happy to discuss more on that. 

 

G.

Thanks for doing this,Chris. 

 

I understand from the CSG Budget Group call, which you chair [ISPCP, IPC,
BC} that it would be useful to have members have a high level understanding
on the broader categories, so that we can have a sense of BC priorities. 

 

I did want to ask though, about the lack of detail in the budget, such as
the inability to find the Fellowship Program as a detailed item; or the
communications budget; totals for salary/benefits for staff, etc. Were those
not detailed in the Operating Plan and Budget? 

 

I recognize that the Fellowship Program has had limited contribution to the
BC specifically, except in two cases, but it is a program that the BC
supports, and has interest in strengthening how it does contribute to
supporting more small business participants from developing countries.

Dear BC Members,

 

Please find attached comments that I have submitted on the FY13 Operating
Plan and Budget.

We anticipate that the BC and the CSG will submit more detailed comments in
the ?reply round?  which opens tomorrow until the 15th June.

 

I have asked a lot of clarification questions and drawn on material from our
Framework Budget submission as I don?t think it was adequately addressed at
that time.  

 

I think we should  focus on the 25 individual project comments in the reply
round. 

 

Best regards,
