Vany-

We tried to call you in order to get you into this informal teleconference
but Sarah said that there was no answer at your number.  Sorry we were not
able to connect, but we will have a formal meeting of the Budget Committee
sometime during the next few weeks.

Hi Roger and all:

I understand that there are lines items that it would be desirable to
include
if the Budget Committee will submit any request to ICANN for funding
such item lines in full.
But if such funding is not aprooved, then the NCDNHC will be in serious
problems again for year 2002
because for us is not realistic to contribute with our part in the same
way our other partners in the NC are able to contribute.

So I suggest to make two Budgets:

1.  The Regular Budget as Roger and Glen proposed if ICANN aprooves to
include DNSO in its Budget.

2.  An emergency Budget if ICANN doesn't aproove such funding, where
will have the only the following item lines
that are the most obligatory ones because we got some compromises:

   SECRETARIAT (Including AFNIC)  $60000.00
   TRAVEL EXPENSES OF SECRETARIAT $15000.00
   TELEPHONE EXPENSES		  $ 5000.00
   SUBTOTAL:			  $80000.00
   LESS SURPLUS 		- $63000.00
   TOTAL			  $17000.00
   
   CONTRIBUTION PER CONSTITUENCY  $ 2429.00

---------------------------------------------

I have other question about the Budget proposed by Roger:

1.  What is this item line of conectivity? I understand
that AFNIC and Lodger INC has their own resources of conectivity to
Internet
and that as such is included in the work their are doing, as far as I
understand.  
Also for meetings ICANN set up the conectivity so need to pay extra
connectivity
in ICANN meetings.  

2. In the potential services needed, I wish to know which tasks will do
such additional
task that is not included in the task to be done by Lodger Inc and
AFNIC. In any case
the NCDNHC cannot support additional staff for DNSO.

3.  Web Casting:  In fact there are another creative ways to make
webcasting with minute taking work.  
I also think it shouldn't be so sophisticated as Berkman Center makes
it, with video editing and other
very desirable jobs, but that we cannot afford it.  I think that we
should make the exercise to contact
local teams where the meeting will be developed in order to know how
much more or less would cost
to hire a local team to perform the same tasks as Berkman Center for the
NC meetings and GA Assembly.

4. Translation services:  I think that ICANN is perfoming this...very
slow but doing it.  

5.  Miscelaneos:  I understand the merit to include a miscleanous item
line, just in case of any "urgence" expense has
to be made.  But I think that DNSO has to learn to live without
miscelanous since the NCDNHC doesn't have the capacity to afford
miscelaneous in this or any future budget.  Instead of adding
miscelanous, lets organize ourselves in a way that we won't need a
miscelanous item line.
And if we need in the future anything to pay not included in a Budget,
then lets simply doing the fundraising when needed or search sponsors
when needed.   

Any thoughs?

Best Regards
Vany
