Brief Overview

Purpose: To obtain Public Comments on the Draft FY22 Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) Operating Plan and Budget and the DRAFT IANA FY22 Operating Plan and Budget.

Current Status: These DRAFT Plans have been prepared and published for public review and comment.

Next Steps: ICANN community participants, including the customers of the IANA functions should submit questions for clarification about details in the draft plans to planning@icann.org by 15 October 2020M. The organization will provide responses by 22 October 2020.

The organization will then:

  2. Incorporate changes to the draft plans based on suggestions and comments.
  3. Propose the revised FY22 PTI Operating Plan and Budget for PTI Board Adoption in December 2020.
  4. Propose the revised FY22 IANA Budget for IANA for ICANN Board Adoption in January 2021.

Section I: Description and Explanation

Two documents are presented for community discussion and Public Comment: 1) the Draft PTI FY22 Operating Plan and Budget and 2) the Draft FY22 IANA Operating Plan and Budget ("IANA Budget"). These budgets have been presented in separate documents as they are adopted by different organizations at separate times.

The PTI Board will be asked to adopt the PTI Draft FY22 Operating Plan and Budget in December 2020. The ICANN Board will be asked to adopt the IANA Budget in January 2021.

The Empowered Community will have an opportunity to consider the IANA Budget after ICANN Board approval. An overview of the Empowered Community's powers is published on the Empowered Community website.

Section II: Background

ALAC Statement on DRAFT PTI and IANA FY22 Operating Plan and Budgets

The ALAC appreciates the opportunity to comment on the DRAFT PTI and IANA FY22 Operating Plan and Budgets. 

The budget - especially the operating plans - are an improvement on both PTI and IANA functions, as well as a transparent initiative to show the community “Operational Improvements Activities and System Enhancements” in advance. 

Although there is a 30% increase in the budget from the last real results (FY20), the ALAC is glad to see that ICANN org is dedicating more resources to its core function.


DRAFT SUBMITTED FOR DISCUSSION

The first draft submitted will be placed here before the call for comments begins. The Draft should be preceded by the name of the person submitting the draft and the date/time. If, during the discussion, the draft is revised, the older version(S) should be left in place and the new version along with a header line identifying the drafter and date/time should be placed above the older version(s), separated by a Horizontal Rule (available + Insert More Content control).

ALAC Statement on DRAFT PTI and IANA FY22 Operating Plan and Budgets

The ALAC appreciates the opportunity to comment on the DRAFT PTI and IANA FY22 Operating Plan and Budgets. 

The budget - specifically, the operating plans - seem be an improvement on both PTI and IANA functions, as well as a transparent initiative to show the community “Operational Improvements Activities and System Enhancements” in advance. 

Our only concern is the 30% increase in the budget from the last real FY results (FY20). Even though as a community the importance of the PTI & IANA functions for ICANN and for the Internet is understandable, the income of ICANN is almost flat.
