    Hello all,<br>
    <br>
    just a reminder that the deadline for filing RALO requests is 16
    January 2017.<br>
    To-date we have received no requests at all.<br>
    I plan to file two requests:<br>
    - funding for participants at ICANN Studienkreis (a repeat of last
    year's request)<br>
    - funding for the organisation of a workshop on the Public Interest
    at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) which will be in Geneva this
    year.<br>
    <br>
    If you have a request, please propose them as soon as possible so
    the RALO can review it. Instructions are given below.<br>
    <br>
    Kindest regards,<br>
    <br>

        <p class="MsoNormal">Dear All, <br>
          <br>
          The FY18 Additional Budget Request process has started.  This
          process pertains to a dedicated part of the overall ICANN
          annual budget that is set aside to fund specific requests from
          the community for activities that are not already included in
          the recurring ICANN budget. FY18 Additional Budget Requests
          cover the period 1 July 2017 through 30 June 2018.
          <br>
          <br>
          The relevant information is available on the <a

           <b>IMPORTANT:</b> In 2016, the members of the ALAC Finance
          and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC) agreed to the following
