FY22 Council’s draft of comments [docs.google.com] <<< please use “Suggesting Mode” when making comments, edits, or proposed topics
In terms of homework, we need the Councilors to take ownership of 1 to 2 issues in the Comment (you don’t want the entire document drafted by me). Councilors, please have your revisions/additions by Monday (25 Jan) at 20:00 UTC in the Google Doc FY22 Council’s draft of comments
Issue | Councilor | Notes |
OFP Issue 1 | Tomslin | Damon will assist. I will assist as this overlaps with Budget Issue 2. Be specific in our request. |
OFP Issue 2 | Maxim | Might need to speak with staff concerning tools. Review 5YS&OP (p. 28-30) and compare with FY 22 OFP (p. 28-30). |
OFP Issue 3 | Phillipe/John | For COVID-19 references review FY 22 OFP at p. 3, 11, 27, 86, 103-105, 169-171. |
OFP Issue 4 | Osvaldo | This comment is like issue 1 but focused on funding working groups. See last year’s comment at Section 2 (pp. 4-5). |
OFP Issue 5 | Tomslin | Go back and review the 1/13/21 SCBO meeting where Berry covered all of the upcoming workstreams. |
Budget Issue 1 | Kristian | From last year’s comment: “The GNSO Council asserts that it is important the initiatives, tools and resources associated with PDP 3.0 should be explicitly individualized in the activities, and not just mentioned as an example. This would enable the GNSO Council to adequately evaluate whether the recommended changes associated with PDP 3.0 are being adequately funded.” Search the budget for references to PDP 3.0 being implemented. |
Budget Issue 2 | John | See OFP 1 |
Budget Issue 3 | Maxim | See Last Year’s comment at Section 2, p. 6. |
Budget Issue 4 | Kristian | Last year “the GNSO Council questions whether 4 FTE and $500,000 is sufficient allocation of funds to support data, research, and study project requests for implementation work for the Competition, Consumer Trust, and Consumer Choice Review Team (CCT-RT) recommendations on data collection, Phases 1 and 2 of the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data Expedited Policy Development Process Team (EPDP), and the anticipated policy recommendations from the New gTLD Subsequent Procedures PDP.” Look at whether this was adequate and what is budgeted for FY 22. |
Budget Issue 5 | Greg | Last year we commented that “In reviewing this section of the FY21 Budget, the GNSO Council notes that it needs to better understand the criteria by which some events are listed under this functional activity, while others or not. The GNSO Council suggests that criteria are explained or that that all events be listed. This is a critical component to transparency.” Look at p. 11 of FY22 Budget and compare with FY21 Budget at p. 15. |
