is to remind you that April 1st is the deadline for the Open Forum
for Community Feedback on the Framework for ICANN's FY11 Operating Plan and
Budget.   We have heard many oral quesitons and comments this year,
but as of today we only have one posted comment.   <a
href="http://icann.org/en/public-comment/#op-budget-fy2011">http://icann.org/en/public-comment/#op-budget-fy2011</a>.  
Any comments received will be synthesized and a response posted.  
The feedback, if applicable, will be factored into the draft
FY11 Operating Plan and Budget which will be posted by the 17th of
May.   At that time another open forum will be established to
encourage public feedback with enough time to synthesize comments before final
submital to the Board at the Brussels meeting in June.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
