Subject: Requesting Your Feedback on the FY10 Operating Plan and Budget

 

Dear council, committee, and constituency leaders:

 

A quick note to thank those of you who have held meetings and conference
calls on the ICANN FY10 Operating Plan and Budget.   We remain available to
host more calls with those who would like to discuss and/or provide more
feedback.

 

I also want to encourage your members to post comments individually or
representing your group to the public comment page:
http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#op-budget-fy2010.   Close date:
April 30.

 

Questions we hope to obtain feedback on are:

 

• Is the approach to meetings scaling with the ICANN community’s size and
diversity, and work style over time? Should ICANN take action in FY10 to
reduce or redirect the substantial expense – both directly by ICANN and
indirectly by participants – in three meetings around the world?
• As ICANN grows to support application processing for the new gTLD program,
what is the best way to staff (hire vs. outsource) and what are the
appropriate geographic locations for this effort?
• How does the community want to explicitly prioritize work such that the
costs to support additional work don’t just grow?
• How can ICANN better report on and measure the effectiveness of many
activities such as outreach and policy development, so as to allow these
areas to be tuned/improved?
• What other ideas does the community have for prioritization or cost
reduction consistent with the Strategic Plan goals?

 

In addition, we want to encourage formal public comments on travel
policy/procedures:
http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#travel-support-2010.  Close date:
April 24.

 

Comments for both of these matters will be synthesized into the draft FY10
Operating Plan and Budget to be posted by 17th of May.   Your participation
is greatly appreciated.

 

Best regards,

 

Kevin Wilson 

CFO 
ICANN
