ICANN Posts Initial Operating Plan and Budget Framework for Fiscal Year 2009

4 February 2008

The Initial Operating Plan and Budget
Framework<http://www.icann.org/planning/ops-budget-framework-09.pdf>[PDF,
904K] kicks off the operational planning process for ICANN, providing
the community with a first look at planned work and costs for fiscal year
2009. The planning approach this year accelerates the date when information
is available to the community, and extends the review period, so the
community has the maximum opportunity to provide input and help mold the
fiscal year 2009 budget.

Some new characteristics of this year's approach to planning include:

   - Review of the operating plan activities and anticipated expenses at
   the same time (in the past, done separately).
   - A three-year budget model for ICANN, to better put fiscal year 2009
   into perspective. Again, the three-year budget model points out the
   criticality of reaching community consensus on many of the
   questions/assumptions still to be addressed for new gTLDs.
   - A structured presentation of operating plan activities that both
   allows for summarization, thus making it more accessible and tractable,
   while still providing adequate detail in areas in which various community
   members have specific interest.

The Initial Operating Plan and Budget Framework will be reviewed in a public
workshop in Delhi, and kicks off a five month long consultation with the
community leading up to anticipated adoption of a budget by ICANN's board in
June.
