Hi Farzi,
  
 My understanding is that the future of the Intersessional meeting is to be 
discussed during the last session of day 2 of the Reykjavik meeting next 
month. Although past the deadline for SG/C supplemental funding requests, 
there should not be a budgetary problem should we wish to continue to hold 
the meeting (or not).
  
 FYI, the Project Number for the annual NCPH meeting is 124780. This year 
$100,000 is budgeted for the gathering. In previous years funding for the 
NCPH meeting was contained within other budget line items. As funding is no 
longer subsumed within the Supplemental line item deadlines for 
Supplemental requests  will not always apply.
  
 I have sent an email to ICANN CFO Xavier Caldez to confirm all of this. 
I'll let everyone know when I get a response.
  
 Kind Regards,
  
 Ed Morris

Subject: Another NCPH meeting next year?   
  All, 
  
 I might be wrong but I have heard that if NCPH wants to have another 
intersessional next year, staff in consultation with the leaders of groups 
should support the additional budget request for this meeting. 
  
 Am I right or wrong? If I am right then the deadline for additional budget 
request is end of January. Has there been any discussion on this? Because 
if I am asked as NCUC chair I would like to consult with NCUC members. If 
only NCSG will make the decision here, I would like NCSG leaders to hear my 
opinion on this. 
  
 If I am wrong, then was there any budget allocated to the next year 
intersessional? Was it approved? 
  
  
 Best
