<DIV>Dear Stakeholders and community members,</DIV>
<DIV>As per our FY16 Budget calendar, we are about to publishing on March 18th
the FY16 Draft Operating Plan and Budget, 7 weeks earlier than last year!</DIV>
<DIV>As usual, we are offering a few kick off calls during which we will review
the draft document published, in order to facilitate your work to review and
comment. We will publish a recording of the kick off sessions for your
convenience, if you would not be able to attend any of the sessions.</DIV>
<DIV>A doodle poll will be sent shortly for 2 or 3 sessions to be scheduled over
the course of next week.</DIV>
<DIV>
