GAC Chair, Thomas Schneider

Discussion of:

Level of funding for current calendar year
Level of commitment for the future
Possible future arrangements

GAC members to again review the requests from the Chair for possible contributions to enable continuation of the independent secretariat. (GAC Chair + Switzerland).
GAC leadership to (a) engage with ICANN on extension of the current contract; (b) work on mid-term solutions with a view to options for sustainable funding arrangements (GAC leadership).

Session Minutes:

The GAC reaffirmed its support for an independent GAC secretariat, complemented by ICANN support staff.

Switzerland provided the following summary of the funding situation: [ACIG funding]

It was noted that there is a funding shortfall, and that ACIG commitments will be reduced for the remainder of 2017, with attendance at face-to-face meetings limited to one ACIG staff member. Without additional funding commitments, the delivery of services by an independent secretariat is very much at risk for 2018 and beyond. The GAC leadership was tasked with urgently engaging with ICANN on extension of the current contract; and working on mid-term solutions with a view to finding sustainable funding arrangements.
