Subject: [bc-gnso] FY13 Operating Plan and Budget Comment - Fellowship
Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 22:00:10 +0200

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 
http://www.icann.org/en/news/public-comment/op-budget-fy13-01may12-en.htm  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

seven and see if there is anything the BC should comment on here. best Chris

Asunto: Re: [bc-gnso] FY13 Operating Plan and Budget Comment 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. Gabriela Szlak

Marilyn Cade <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>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. From: chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: [bc-gnso] FY13 Operating Plan and Budget Comment
Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 00:54:52 +0200 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,  Chris Chaplow
