Brief Overview

Purpose: This is a draft of Public Technical Identifiers’ (PTI's) FY18 Operating Plan and Budget for community discussion and public comment. This is the draft Operating Plan and Budget for PTI’s first complete fiscal year of operations. PTI was incorporated in August 2016, the second month of ICANN’s FY17 budget.

Current Status: This draft Plan has been prepared and published for public review and comment.

Next Steps: Questions seeking clarification of any details in the Draft PTI FY18 Operating Plan and Budget should be submitted to controller@icann.org by 4 November 2016. Responses will be provided by 18 November 2016, three weeks before this public comment period ends.

Following the end of this public comment proceeding, we will hold calls with the community. These calls are an opportunity for the community to present their written comments on the Draft PTI FY18 Operating Plan and Budget. This process is intended to enhance understanding of the comments and to improve the quality of the response. All calls will be public, focused on the organization that submitted comments, and attended by at least one PTI Board member. Additional PTI and ICANN Board members may attend based on availability.

The staff and PTI Board members attending will primarily listen and ask clarifying questions. Responses to public comments will not be provided during these calls, unless the comments are factual with a very specific and simple answer.

The schedule for these calls, along with dial-in information, is published on the ICANNCommunity Wiki Finance Workspace.

After holding calls with the community, a report on the comments received will be prepared. After incorporating changes based on suggestions and comments, the PTI Board will be invited to adopt the Plan in January 2017.

Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose

This is a draft of PTI's FY18 Operating Plan and Budget for community discussion and public comment. This is the draft Operating Plan and Budget for PTI’s first complete fiscal year of operations. PTI was incorporated in August 2016, the second month of ICA

NN’s FY17 budget.

Section II: Background

PTI was incorporated as the "Post-Transition IANA" in August 2016 and its Board was seated during September 2016. It performs the work required to deliver the IANA Services through contracts with ICANN. Excellence in delivering the IANA Services is a key goal in ICANN’s Strategic Plan, and PTI is working to fulfil that goal.

As PTI was incorporated during ICANN’s FY17, its costs for FY17 were contained in ICANN’s FY17 Operating Plan and Budget. This is the year in which PTI’s first Operating Plan and Budget is being developed.

FINAL DRAFT VERSION TO BE VOTED UPON BY THE ALAC

The final draft version to be voted upon by the ALAC will be placed here before the vote is to begin.

The At-Large Community, Regional At-Large Organizations (RALOs), and the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) are pleased to provide the bellow comments on the Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) FY18 operating plan and budget.

The overall budget estimates are reasonable increment figures of PTI FY17 budget, and there are no major changes on the FY18 budget when compared to the FY17 budget.

Although the overall travel and meetings budget line items have increased by 42.3% from $0.4 million to $0.6 million, we think that the sub-item “community engagement” which is proposed as $0.1 million could be increased to ensure PTI can engage with its customers and non-customers stakeholders communities. Some examples of such community engagement could be the participation in major Internet and ICT regional forums and the publication of PTI materials in multiple languages (e.g UN languages ).

It would be useful in the future to provide a detailed breakdown of the ICANN support functions provided to the PTI. For example, it will be useful to know the figures allocated for PTI’s Communications activities which are conducted by ICANN support functions. The total proposed figure for ICANN provided professional services to PTI is $0.3 million. We think ICANN communications could provide more support to PTI on its outreach and awareness efforts which are required.

Although the overall budget estimates are reasonable increment figures of PTI 2017 budget, there is no major changes on 2018 budget when compared to 2017 budget.

Although the overall travel and meetings budget line items has increased by 42.3% from $0.4 million to $0.6 million, but we think that the sub-item “community engagement” which is proposed as $0.1 million could be increased to ensure PTI can be actively engaged with its customers and non-customers stakeholders communities.

It would be useful in the future to provide a detailed breakdown of the provided ICANN support functions to PTI, for example it will be useful to know the figures allocated for PTI’s Communications activities which is conducted by ICANN support functions. The total proposed figure for ICANN’s provided professional services to PTI is $0.3 million, we think ICANN communications could provide more support to PTI on its out-reach and awareness efforts which is required.
