Dear Community Members and Leaders,

 

We begin our FY16 SO-AC Community Special Budget Process effort.  This brief package provides:

  • A summary of the process for FY16 Community Special Budget requests, including a confirmed timeline for the process
  • A set of process principles to govern our request assessment work
  • A copy of the FY16 template request form.

As you can see from the timeline, we hope to trigger the ability to accept community request templates from Monday, January 5 until Saturday, February 28.  In preparation for the submission, please review the various documents. We would appreciate any comments or feedback you have on any of the documents.  In particular,

  • Feedback on the program process and timeline as drafted
  • Feedback on the program principles as drafted
  • Feedback on the Budget Request Template

 

The SO-AC additional budget pertains to a dedicated part of the overall ICANN annual budget that is set aside to take into account specific requests from the community for activities that are not already included in the recurring ICANN budget.

Each FY16 SO-AC request was evaluated by ICANN staff based on a predetermined set of criteria. This evaluation period resulted in assessments that were given to the Board for review and consideration. You can find a list of the special request decisions adopted by the ICANN Board on 26-April-2015 below.
