Okay, so:
Last Regional Best Guess
Official FY17 at Actual
Budget Request FY16 Spending⁵
APAC 12650 (12.7%) 33025¹ (22.1%) 7600 (13.1%)
EMEA 27000 (27.0%) 33250 (22.2%) 15000 (26.0%)
LATAM 16500 (16.5%) 23180 (15.5%) 11000 (19.0%)
NA 43850 (43.9%) 60000² (40.1%) 24200 (41.9%)
total 100000³ 149455⁴ 57800
1. Based on totaling the wiki page
2. Wow
3. Remember, this year's budget excluded FADs, which is not something
we want to repeat; FADs were actually paid for from underspend
4. Yeah, that'd be nice....
5. This may not account for everything, but here's what we have from
internal records.
So, as a semi-arbitrary starting point, if we average the percentages
from each of the categories, that gives us:
APAC: 17.3%
EMEA: 24.5%
LATAM: 16.5%
NA: 41.7%
If we give EMEA a 5 percentage-point "credit" for having a nice
spreadsheet in early, that works out to:
APAC: 15.6%
EMEA: 29.5%
LATAM: 14.9%
NA: 40.0%
If we allocate the $73500 in total regional funding, that looks like
this (rounded slightly for prettiness):
Adjusted Percent of Percent of
FY17 Asked for Recorded FY16
Allocation Amount Spending
APAC: $11500 34.8% 151.3%
EMEA: $21650 65.1% 144.3%
LATAM: $10950 47.2% 99.5%
NA: $29400 49.0% 121.5%
Like I said, here's a starting point. What do you think?
Being that I was involved heavily in the discussions around this, this
I believe is quite even handed, and encourages pro-active reporting,
while being as equitable to historical precedent as possible.
I really feel confident that the council has done a good job
supporting our central priorities while maximizing the amount of
overall regional funding available.
Bravo, I am very much +1 to this scenario, and I think this is very
close to a 'best case' scenario with the big number that we have for
this year.
The challenge and priority for this FY17 budget cycle is to make sure
we are gregariously tracking our spend, but also tracking anything
that we 'would have spent' on if we had the budget for it, along with
the projected impact of that spend.
