[council] 2002-2003 ICANN Budget Input Request



This is to solicit the DNSO's thoughts and recommendations regarding 
ICANN's budget for the financial year 2002-2003. This is to assist me 
in drafting the Preliminary Budget, which will be posted in February 
and discussed at the March meeting in Accra.  I and the ICANN-Board - 
and in particular the Finance Committee of the Board - are 
particularly interested in your views on budgetary priorities and 
special needs. This letter and attached documents have also been 
emailed directly to DNSO constituencies.

Comments received by January 10, 2001 will have the most effect in 
shaping this first stage of the budget process, although you will 
have continuing opportunities through the budget cycle to submit your 
concerns. Therefore, these next six weeks are the best time for 
Supporting Organizations, Constituencies, Advisory Committees, and 
other constituent units of ICANN to identify and communicate those 
activities that they believe warrant new or changed attention in the 
coming year.

In particular, we seek your opinions on:

1. Function and activities ICANN should expand, perform more rapidly, 
or perform better;

2. Functions or activities ICANN should decrease, perform more 
slowly, or perform more superficially; and

3. New projects or activities ICANN should undertake or support.

Please help me and the Finance Committee understand the reasoning 
behind the priorities you offer in response to this invitation.

Attached to this covering note you fill find background information 
on the current year's budget and priorities, some thoughts on what we 
might expect during the next financial year, and the budget process 
schedule.

We look forward to hearing from you. Please email your views to 
budget@icann.org no later than January 10, 2002.

With warm regards,
Stuart
