On 25 June 2010 in Brussels, the ICANN Board approved the FY11 Operating Plan and Budget [PDF, 2.51 MB], which describes the planned activities and required resources for this fiscal year. The activities are based on ICANN’s strategic priorities, and include comments and feedback received from the community on both the Budget Framework [PDF, 767 KB] posted 17 February 2010 and the draft Operating Plan and Budget [PDF, 1.33 MB] posted 17 May 2010.
Based upon community feedback received during the Brussels meeting, the Board has committed to make adjustments to the FY11 operating plan, if necessary. Staff will work with community members including Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to clarify details of the adopted operating plan and review recommendations for additional activities to ensure an equitable allocation of ICANN’s work. If necessary, funds will be requested from contingency.
The process of working more directly with the Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees to ensure that activities and priorities are best aligned with the community’s requirements will be further developed and expanded upon in the development of the FY12 Operating Plan and Budget. Discussions with SO and AC chairs regarding the FY12 plans is expected to commence by October 2010, earlier than ever before.
