Javier Rua-Jovet:BIG QUESTION !!!!!!
Gisella Gruber:Reminder - please state your name
Roberto Gaetano:For the record, the current count for Individuals in Europe is 38 members and 5 observers
Roberto Gaetano:Interesting fact, we have 3 observers from the South Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan) probably fueled partly by EuroDIG 2018 being in Georgia
Roberto Gaetano:That brings again to surface the question on whether South Caucasus is Europe or Asia

Gisella Gruber:Connectivity issues in Nepal
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Very true OCL
ALAGIE CEESAY:i lost my call
Maureen Hilyard:Is Kaili having issues? Could be connectivity from his hotel - different from the one I am connecting from in the room of one of our ALS members staying here.
Hadia Elminiawi:Alan I shall give this (Budget) some time - thanks to the efforts of all of you
ALAGIE CEESAY:please dial
Gisella Gruber:@ ALagie - we are dialling you
Maureen Hilyard:I will make some comments about general At-Large issues.. I have made a submission of my own on issues impacting specifically on our region
Heidi Ullrich:@All, Xavier Calvez, ICANN CFO, is being invited to speak to the At-Large Leadership about the FY19 budget and the FY19 ABRs during ICANN 61.
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):just not into doom gloom and despair
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):discretionary funds are reasonable to reverse of course
Judith Hellerstein:It is as Cheryl had said they are trashing outreach and engagement. Because it is easy, i think cuts should be across the board, like having all groups travel coach class and not business
Gisella Gruber:Leon has joined the audio bridge
Gisella Gruber:Yubelkys Montalvo has joined the AC room
Yubelkys Montalvo:good morning all
Yubelkys Montalvo:sorry for my delay
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):low hanging fruit
Judith Hellerstein:Why is business class cut, that would be easy
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):exactly Alan the small change cuts are questionable, prioritisation ofmajorvspends may if cuts are needed as opposed to flat expenditure on major spends may assist short term savings in ratio to expenditure growth
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond:Document 2 - https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_en_system_files_files_proposed-2Dtotal-2Dbudget-2Dfy19-2D19jan18-2Den.pdf&d=DwIFaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PqnmlD10aN3cxIHyiUf_hNf25P6Dsv7dJM6flBzRrBs&m=QV2HbvhOKkaUUfpxA-_ZJSAzx7d-LXLi6GrpgxZntAE&s=9UNq5Z-ebliD0jsdBq6a5v-jS51cuaNXxJZyoP6_siQ&e=
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond:PAge 16
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):we have to take holistic view on thing and in my view the next strategic plan is pivotal
Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond:But ther's already been a staff increase in GDD to support way more activity than what has actually happened.
Maureen Hilyard:@Cheryl - that is fine... but at the same time as they are cutting costs in some areas whey are they not at the same time justifying why they are needing more resources elsewhere - maybe they are alternatives for what we are losing, who is to know?
Hadia Elminiawi:i can't hear him either
Hadia Elminiawi:@sabastian may you please speak louder
Maureen Hilyard:Can't hear Sebastian
Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):needs to be explored Maureen
Ricardo Holmquist:agree with Cheryl, we need to make a Holistic view, with revenues of ICANN steadying or decreasing there are costs that need to be revised
