| Detailed Information | ||||
| Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose | ||||
| The feedback and involvement of the ICANN community in the evolution from Framework to Operating Plan is critical in making this a workable and implementable budget, and we now encourage the community to comment on this set of identified fiscal year priorities, core activities, and projects and how they should fit into the FY 13 plan. The Framework will be discussed with members of the ICANN community at the Costa Rica meeting this March, with feedback received through both the online public comment process as well as through individual meetings and conference calls with ICANN Supporting Organizations (SO), Advisory Committees (AC) and Stakeholder Groups (SG). A more detailed draft FY 13 Operating Plan and Budget will be posted by 1 May 2012. After additional public comment and feedback is received and synthesized, the budget will be sent to the ICANN Board for adoption at ICANN Public Meeting 44 in June 2012. | ||||
| Section II: Background | ||||
| The building and posting of a Framework for the ICANN Operating Plan and Budget began in FY 10, as a method to provide budget assumptions and forecasts earlier, as well as to allow more time for community input and consultation, with the goal being a more robust Operating Plan that reflects the priorities of the community. | ||||
