  1. Main Agenda:

    1. FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan

      Whereas, the draft FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan was based upon community consultations, and consultations with ICANN staff and the Board Finance Committee (BFC), during the current fiscal year and was posted for public comment on 05 March 2016.

      Whereas, comments received from the public comment forum were discussed during several calls with Board members, staff members, and representatives of the ICANN bodies that submitted those comments, to help ensure the comments were adequately understood and appropriate consideration was given to them.

      Whereas, the public comments received, as well as other solicited community feedback through conference calls, meetings in Marrakech and email communications, were taken into account to determine required revisions to the draft FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan.

      Whereas, the BFC has discussed, and guided staff on, the development of the FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan at each of its recent regularly scheduled meetings.

      Whereas, the BFC met on 09 June 2016 to review and discuss the suggested changes resulting from public comment, and the final FY7 Budget and Operating Plan was approved by the Board on 26 June 2016. As a complement to the approval of the FY17 Operating Plan and Budget, the Five-Year Operating Plan has been updated as part of the FY17 planning cycle, including through the public comment process, and the BFC recommends that the Board adopts the FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan.

      Resolved (2016.06.27.01), the Board adopts the FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan [PDF, 680 KB].

      Rationale for Resolution 2016.06.27.01

      On 05 March 2016, a draft of the FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan was posted for public comment. This version was based on numerous discussions with members of the senior ICANN Management, and extensive consultations with ICANN Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and other stakeholder groups throughout the prior several months.

      This FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan will have a positive impact in that it provides a proper framework pursuant to which ICANN will be operated. It also provides the basis for the organization to be held accountable in a transparent manner. This will have a fiscal impact on ICANN and the community as is intended. This should not have anything but a positive impact on the security, stability and resiliency of the domain name system (DNS) with respect to any funding that is dedicated to those aspects of the DNS.

      This is an Organizational Administrative Function that has already been subject to public comment as noted above.
