Brief Overview
Purpose:
Focusing on ICANN's commitment to the multistakeholder model, ICANN's Draft FY20 Operating Plan and Budget and the current year update to the Five-Year Operating Plan are provided for community discussion and public comment. ICANN seeks structured feedback on the plans described in these documents. The documents incorporate improvements on previous years based on regular interaction with the ICANN community and reflect FY20's planned accomplishments towards the Five-Year Strategic Plan, (adopted by the Board in October 2014.)
Current Status:
The draft documents provided for this proceeding have been prepared and published for public review and comment. They describe ICANN's plans for FY20 and include the plans to be carried out by PTI and IANA. Consultations were conducted on PTI's draft FY20 plans during Summer and Fall of 2018. A Report of Public Comments on the FY20 PTI and IANA Operating Plan and Budget was published in December 2017. The updated PTI Operating Plan and Budget is scheduled to be adopted by the PTI Board 19 December 2018. The sections of the plans relating to PTI are therefore already finalized and are included in these documents to provide a complete picture.

ICANN seeks structured feedback on the plan described in these documents. They reflect the accomplishments planned for the current and next fiscal year, FY19 and FY20, and refinements based on regular interaction with the ICANN Community.
Section II: Background
ICANN's planning process consists of a continuous cycle with the following four components:
- ICANN Strategic Plan
- ICANN Five-Year Operating Plan Update
- ICANN Fiscal-Year Operating Plan & Budget
- PTI Fiscal-Year Operating Plan & Budget
- IANA Budget Fiscal-Year Operating Plan and Budget
ICANN's Strategic Plan 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 Initial Five-Year Operating Plan and Financial Model was developed with community input and is updated each year. This is its second update. It contains an approach to a five-year financial management strategy, and at the strategic goal level:
- Corresponding Key Performance Indicators
- Dependencies
- Five-Year Phasing
- A list of Portfolios
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.
ICANN's Fiscal-Year Operating Plan and Budget is developed with input from the community to implement the Five-Year Operating Plan.
- The cycle concludes with achievement and progress reporting, conducted throughout the year via ICANN meetings, webinars, the Accountability Indicators and other dashboards, and the portfolio management system.
