Whereas, on 17 May 2005, in accordance with the ICANN Bylaws Article XVI, ICANN posted its Proposed Budget for fiscal year 2005-2006, which was developed through a series of consultations with ICANN constituencies, ICANN's Budget Advisory Group, and the ICANN's Board Finance Committee.
Whereas, the Board formally adopted the 2005-2006 ICANN Budget pursuant to Resolution 05.51, and the Board has set out a path for additional review and discussion subject to Resolutions 05.52, 05.53, and 05.54 relating to funding for the following line items in the adopted budget: DNSSEC deployment; ALAC projects; translation; facilitation of regional meetings; and establishment of regional presences.
Whereas, ICANN and the community recognize the facilitation of participation of representatives from developing countries is an important part of ICANN's mission; and receiving benefit in the form of regional meeting support from ICANN also imbues an obligation in participants to actively participate in the ICANN process.
Whereas, the Board recognizes that effective forms of regional presences wil vary from region to region; commits to accept input from the Internet community regarding the establishment of regional presences; and looks to take advantage of regional organizations in determining the appropriate form of regional presences.
Whereas, the Board acknowledges the wealth of talent in the community that can facilitate the deployment of DNSSEC.
Whereas, ICANN's Board Finance Committee has reviewed the itemization of the five expense categories that were still under discussion and were addressed by the board in the Board's previous resolutions from ICANN's Luxembourg Meeting and has set out additional contemplated review before the Finance Committee and the Board but has recommended that the board fully adopt the budget for the fiscal year 2005-2006 without restrictions.
Resolved (05.__), the ICANN Board confirms the adoption of the 2005-2006 ICANN Budget, and hereby removes the restrictions relating to the expense categories that were under discussion when the Budget was approved.
Resolved (05.__), the ICANN Board recommends that ICANN's President and CEO provide regular reports to ICANN's Board Finance Committee on how resources are being allocated under the various expense categories within the 2005-2006 ICANN Budget.
