Brief Overview

Purpose:

Focusing on ICANN's commitment to the multistakeholder model, ICANN's Draft FY17 Operating Plan & Budget and an associated update to the Five-Year Operating Plan & Financial Model is provided for community discussion and public comment. ICANN seeks structured feedback on the plan described in these two linked documents. They reflect FY16's planned accomplishments toward the Five-Year Strategic Plan, which was adopted by the Board in October 2014. They also incorporate refinements based on regular interaction with the ICANNCommunity.

Current Status:

These two draft documents have been prepared and published for public review and comment. An overview will be presented at a High Interest Topic session during ICANN55 in March 2016.

Next Steps:

A report on the comments received will be prepared during May. After incorporating changes based on suggestions and comments, the Board will be invited to adopt the Plan at ICANN56 in June 2016.

Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose

ICANN seeks structured feedback on the plan described in these two linked documents. They reflect FY16's planned accomplishments towards the Five-Year Strategic Plan (adopted by the Board in October 2014) and refinements based on regular interaction with the ICANNCommunity.

Section II: Background

ICANN's planning process consists of a continuous cycle of three planning components: Strategic Plan, Five-Year Operating Plan, and Fiscal-Year Operating Plan & Budget.

  • ICANN's Strategic Plan [PDF, 1.65 MB] was developed with community input and is updated every five years. The Strategic Plan shapes our priorities, informs our budget and drives our activities. ICANN's Strategic Plan for FY16-FY20 was adopted by the Board and published on 14 October 2014.
  • ICANN's Five-Year Operating Plan was developed with community input and is updated each year. It contains a Five-Year Planning Calendar, a Financial Model, and at the Goal level:
    • corresponding Key Performance Indicators
    • Risks, Five-Year Phasing
    • and a list of Portfolios
  • ICANN's Fiscal-Year Operating Plan & Budget is developed based on the Five-Year Operating Plan along with input from the community.

The cycle completes with Achievement & Progress Reporting.

Following the adoption of the FY16-FY20 Strategic Plan in October 2014, ICANN staff developed and consulted on a Draft Five-Year Operating Plan, which was adopted by the Board in June 2015.

FINAL VERSION TO BE SUBMITTED IF RATIFIED

...

Regarding the new gTLD Program variance analysis in section 5.3, we may notice that for FY14, the prior estimated revenues (March 2015) are different from the current estimated ones (February 2016). Since FY14 ended on 30 June 2014, much earlier than March 2015, the actual revenues should be available now. Hence, those figures should be replaced by the actual amount, like what is done for FY12 and FY13.  If, for whatever reason, the revenue for a year long past is still changing, it should be explained.  

...

Two tables in the document show year-to-year changes not only in absolute numbers but as percentages (section 3.2, page 14 and appendix C, page 79). We suggest that all year-to-year tables and tables showing predicted vs actual figures should include percentages in addition to the absolute values. Percentages make it far easier to recognize and home in on major variations, and it is often these on which we need to focus our attention.
