In our comments on the ICANN budget last year, we made several comments on the MSM Initiative, but almost nothing on the other initiatives, including the top priority ones for ALAC - including UA/IDNs. One of our goals for this year is to comment on the ICANN budget in light of our own priorities. And UA is one of them. </div><div><br></div><div>The next meeting is 1800 UTC on this Thursday. Satish, I am well aware that is not a good time for you to talk about UA, but I’d really appreciate it if either or both of you could just send 10 minutes on the topic and the meeting can discuss the issue and what we might say in the context of the budget.</div><div><br></div><div>Very much appreciated to you both - and stay safe</div><div><br></div><div>Holly<br><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>From: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Ricardo Holmquist <<a href="mailto:rihogris@gmail.com" target="_blank">rihogris@gmail.com</a>><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>Subject: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif"><b>Re: [OFB-WG] ACTION items posted - OFB July 21 call</b><br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>Date: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">August 2, 2022 at 2:41:00 AM GMT+10<br></span></div><div style="margin:0px"><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><b>To: </b></span><span style="font-family:-webkit-system-font,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif">Holly Raiche <<a href="mailto:h.raiche@internode.on.net" target="_blank">h.raiche@internode.on.net</a>><br></span></div><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Holly,</div><div>sorry for being late on the answer, just being one trip after the other.

And yes, working.<br></div><div><br></div><div>About the agenda, I agree with you about the PTI/IANA Budget, I can produce some slides for the meeting after the webinar.</div><div><br></div><div>About the Operating initiatives, I totally agree with you to have Satish/Vanda for UA and Joanna for Internet Governance. The ideal will be to have an exchange of ideas, so they understand that at the planning time ICANN decides where to spend their resources (money and people), and if these UA, MSM and Internet Governance are the priorities of At-Large, we need to at least check what the Plan says, for the coming years, and for the 5 years ahead. <br></div><div><br></div><div>About the final point, ICANN responses to our comments. My perception is that ICANN does not change a bit of the Plan, once it is drafted, but yes, they will answer all your questions/comments in the meantime. Some of the answers are good, some of the answers are incoherent with the comment. But good or bad answer, the draft stays the same. <-- that is my very personal view. View that I don't want to ventilate in a public meeting, or with the Finance / Planning team of ICANN in the meeting. For me, it is what it is, after two years, I didn't expect otherwise. But yes, I will keep making comments and questions.</div><div><br></div><div>In relation to the previous point, I think it is very important yours, and Marita comments asking ICANN for a better preparation of the At Large involvement on the priorities exercise. I think it is the only real opportunity to raise our hand and say the priorities, so ICANN can address resources. Although the exercise is very guided to some focus points, it still allows us to raise priorities from our side.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards, from Catania</div><div><br></div><div>Ricardo Holmquist<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div><div><br></div><div>I am working on finalizing the agenda for next week. <b>Please comment on the suggestions</b></div><div><br></div><div>My proposed agenda:</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Review of upcoming issues for comment </b></div><div>
