[Alan Greenberg]

The staff responses to the FY18 budget comments have now been posted 
- 
https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-fy18-budget-02jun17-en.pdf.

Of particular interest to At-Large:

1. Our request to fund the ALAC Liaison to the GAC for travel to 
ICANN meetings has been funded for FY18, pending an analysis of the 
impact of funding this travel and and overall review of ICANN 
volunteer travel support.

2. Our request to fund five additional travellers to ICANN meetings 
to be allocated to "demonstrably active contributors" has been funded 
at the level of two additional travellers for FY18 pending an overall 
review of ICANN volunteer travel support. We are required to 
establish pilot criteria that it would use to identify "active" 
contributors who might benefit from public meeting travel support.

3. The $300,000 budget item identified as enhancements to the ICANN 
and At-Large web sites has been renamed "Internal ICANN projects to 
ensure that ICANN.Organization and Atlarge.Organization websites 
remain up-to-date and relevant" in keeping with this being an 
internal IT program to rationalize support of its websites (the ICANN 
and At-large web sites are the only ones that us the particular 
software tool that this project is focused on).
