> Dear council, committee, and constituency leaders:
>
> Attached please find a PDF of the proposed Framework for the FY10  
> Operating Plan and Budget which has been posted for public comment.   
> Below is the link to the announcement and comment forum.  We have  
> done our best to prepare more detail this year and prepare for what  
> is most important to the ICANN community including reducing the  
> increase to 4.9% in response to the global economic situation.      
> Input from your community is valued with specific emphasis this year  
> on your insights on where we can delay, defer, or streamline the  
> plan to save.   Prioritizing spending is important as well.  Given  
> the tight schedule in Mexico City, I am actively seeking your  
> guidance on how best to present, answer questions, receive input,  
> and integrate suggestions from your community.  Options for this  
> interaction are listed below:
>
> ·         Conference call before Mexico City with your community
> ·         Present during your council/committee/constituency meeting  
> in Mexico City
> ·         Present to the general community during one of the public  
> forums
> ·         Conference call after Mexico City.
> ·         Online public comment
>
> Please let me know what would serve your community best.  Thank you  
> in advance for your feedback.

> Budget Framework - Fiscal Year 2010
> Proposed Framework for ICANN's FY10 Operating Plan and Budget
> 17 February 2009
> The release of ICANN's Proposed Framework for the Fiscal Year 2010  
> (FY10) Operating Plan and Budget [PDF, 868K] kicks off the  
> operational planning process for ICANN, providing the community the  
> first look at the planned work and financial resources required for  
> FY10. The framework will be discussed with members of the ICANN  
> community at the Mexico City meeting in March, through online public  
> comment areas, and through conference calls with ICANN  
> constituencies. A more detailed draft FY10 Operating Plan and Budget  
> will be posted by 17 May 2009.  After more public comment and  
> feedback, the budget is expected to be adopted by the ICANN Board at  
> its Sydney meeting in June 2009.
> ICANN has now completed its 10th year, and this framework reflects a  
> growing organization that is attaining operational maturity in many  
> areas. Many of the organizational support elements envisioned for  
> ICANN are at levels adequate to provide sufficient support for the  
> current scale of community work. This means that ICANN's spending  
> growth is anticipated to slow substantially in the FY10 budget as  
> compared with previous years (4.9% compared with 30.1% in FY09).
> The world economic environment has dictated that costs that can be  
> deferred will be. ICANN will likely under run its FY09 budget  
> through some explicit cost controls as well as through the shifting  
> of some program expenses into FY10.
> As always, the community is encouraged to comment on how well this  
> plan addresses priorities identified in the Strategic Plan.  This  
> year, specifically in light of the world economic climate, the  
> community is encouraged to comment regarding the plan elements that  
> might be streamlined, reduced, or deferred: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-200904.html#op-budget-fy2010
