[NCUC-EC] Public Comments on the draft FY17 Operating Plan and Budget and draft 5-Year Operating Plan Update

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi everyone,

NCUC didn't usually get involved in operating and budget planning for ICANN
but I do think that we may consider participating more in the process.
there is ongoing public comment on that matter. I don't know if NCSG with
the new financial committee has any plan yet about it.

we have also an opportunity to have call with ICANN finance/planning team.

Best,

Rafik

Dear Finance Community members,



As you know, the public comment period on the Draft FY17 Operating Plan and
Budget
<https://wecann.icann.org/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fpublic-comments%2Fop-budget-fy17-five-year-2016-03-05-en>
and
Draft 5-Year Operating Plan Update
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-opplan-budget-2016-2020-05mar16-en.pdf>
closes
on *30 April 2016*. After all comments have been received and reviewed by
staff, ICANN will hold community calls *9-13 May 2016* during which the
comments submitted will be presented by the submitters to ICANN staff. This
is intended to enhance the understanding of the comments and so improve the
quality of the response.



All calls will be public, focused on the organization that submitted
comments, and attended by staff subject matter experts and at least one Board
Finance Committee
<https://wecann.icann.org/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.icann.org%2Fresources%2Fpages%2Ffinance-committee-2014-03-21-en>
member. Additional board members may attend based on availability. The
staff and 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.



ICANN staff has communicated this opportunity to the chairs and co-chairs
of the SO/AC groups that have regularly submitted comments in the past and
we are in the process of scheduling calls for them. The purpose of this
e-mail is to extend the same opportunity to the broader ICANN community. If
you plan on submitting comments separately from the SO/AC groups listed
below, please let us know if you would like ICANN to schedule a call to
review your comments with Board and staff by replying to this e-mail.



*SO/AC calls*

-ALAC

-BC, IPCP and ISPCP

-ccNSO

-GNSO Council, NCUC and NPOC



The schedule for all calls will be published on the Community Wiki Finance
Workspace as dates and times are agreed with each constituency group /
commenter.



Separately, we have received input from the community that more detailed
information on the published documents may be required before formal
comments can be submitted. If you have clarifying questions (i.e. help the
reader understand what has been published) regarding the structure and / or
content of the published documents please submit them to
controller at icann.org. ICANN staff will review all questions and provide a
written response within five business days. Please note, ICANN staff will
assess if the questions can be addressed immediately or should be submitted
as a public comment.

As a reminder, all comments can be submitted in the public comments forum
<https://wecann.icann.org/external-link.jspa?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.icann.org%2Flists%2Fcomments-op-budget-fy17-five-year-05mar16%2F>
.



Please let me know if you have questions.



Regards,

Taryn
