[registrars] proposed constituancy budget discussion document

[kstubbs@digitel.net (Digitel - Ken Stubbs)]

happy holidays to all....

as per your suggestion i have attempted  to accumulate information on what i
feel would be a reasonable start for a standard 12 month budget for the
registrars constituancy.

as a budget is nothing but a quantified plan of action , i have taken some
"license" here and assumed the following:

a. 4 annual face-to-face meetings lasting 4 hours held concurrently with
ICANN meetings
b. 8 teleconferences to be scattered throughout the year averaging approx 2
hours
d. normal attendence at the teleconferences = 50-70 persons
e. mail server space & bandwidth to be donated (if that isn't currently done
i am sure we can get it done)
f. now for the toughest: - Secretariat compensation & expenses:
i will assume for the next year that we contract for a secretariat on a
1/3-1/2 time basis. this needs more thinking and task elaboration and the
numbers i have put on this are "for discussion purposes" only . This is by
no means an attempt at "open negotiation" and the numbers i have come up
with are based on a combination of a little research and an educated guess

here we go...

all figures in US $

a.. room expenses 4 meetings @ 500/room x 4  (this is dependent on how good
of
     a negotiator  our secretatiat can be and ICANN cooperation
US $   2000
b. 8  teleconferences averave 2 hours with 20-25 participants
        (all participants pay for the cost of the call to the conference
center
          except the secretariat)      $675 X 6  + $50/call for secretariat
5800
c. Secretatiat normal office & phone & occasional postage  (assume donated
office space)
      will probably be in the neighborhood of $350-400 per month
4200($350 X12)
   Secretariat travel to 4 Icann Meetings  (assume coach travel & 5 days +
meals
                        at an estimate of $2000/meeting  X 4 meetings
8000

      Compensation estimated on the basis of 40% time billed as an
independent contractor
      including 25% benefits
35,000

                     Estimated total   expenses
$35,800
                              add 15% variance
5370

                     Total including Variance
$ 41170


                 Projected annual budget for discussion purposes
$61,170


NOTE:   THIS IS A PROJECTED ANNUAL BUDGET AND DOES NOT ADDRESS THE  CURRENT
PAYABLE DUE FOR PAST names council constituancy dues

please understand that this is a "starting point " for discussion purposes
and feel free to snip away at any area.
