[lac-discuss-en] Call for At-Large Project Submissions to include in ICANN's Fiscal Year 2013 Operational Plan and Budget

[Dev Anand Teelucksingh]

Dear All,

ICANN is developing an Operational Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year
2013 to accomplish the goals and priorities of ICANN's Strategic Plan
for 2012-2015 (draft version at
http://www.icann.org/en/strategic-plan/draft-strategic-plan-2012-2015-clean-03oct11-en.pdf
).

In preparation for this, ICANN's Finance Team has asked the ALAC to
submit project requests to be budgeted in ICANN's Draft Operational
Plan and Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 by 20 January 2012, giving
consideration to the number of requests and to the priority of the
requests.

In turn, ALAC's Finance and Budget Sub-Committee (FBSC;
https://community.icann.org/x/n4XT ) has requested that RALOs submit
their FY13 project requests for consideration by the committee by 10
January 2012.

The Sub-committee would appreciate that each RALO indicate its top
three projects, should more than three be submitted.

As requested by ICANN's Finance Team, all FY13 project suggestions
must use a template which can be found on the At-Large Fiscal Year
2013 Budget Development Workspace at
https://community.icann.org/x/yofbAQ . The form asks RALOs to describe
in detail the actual scope of the activity
being proposed, how it relates to the current Strategic Plan, and how
the funds are to be implemented.

RALOs may wish to review last year's ALAC's FY12 Budget proposals at
https://community.icann.org/x/IASB.

ALAC's FBSC will be reviewing the RALO submissions in an attempt to
prioritize requests for submission to ICANN Finance in time by
20 January 2012.

It is important to note that ONLY projects showing positive impact to
ICANN's Strategic Plan 2012-2015 or to ICANN Policy Development will
likely be approved. Also, please note that all project submissions
sent by the ALAC will be included in ICANN's 2013 Draft Operational
Plan and
Budget and published for public comment.

FY13 Budget requests may be either posted directly on the At-Large
Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Development Workspace or sent to At-Large
staff at: staff at atlarge.icann.org


Kind regards,

Heidi Ullrich, Silvia Vivanco, Matt Ashtiani, Gisella Gruber, and Nathalie
Peregrine
