I heard this not only from our community stakeholders, but from ICANN beginners who wanted to participate in our unique multistakeholder model. I knew then that fixing the findability of our public information was something we needed to do. I also knew that it wouldn't be easy, it would require significant resources and time, and we would need to build a scalable solution for our entire ecosystem of sites. During the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, we realize the necessity of and reliance on being able to access and find information easily through digital platforms.

Both plans were the subject of broad participation and engagement from the ICANN community, and we want to thank everyone who submitted their feedback and thoughts on these drafts. Since concluding the Public Comment process, quite a lot has changed. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound economic impact on the world, and as a result, ICANN expects that its planned activities and financial position for both the remainder of FY20 and FY21 will be significantly impacted. While it is difficult to predict long-term economic impacts, ICANN, as a steward of public funds, has a responsibility to ensure that its activities are planned with absolute fiscal responsibility. Following its assessment, ICANN org acted quickly and responsibly to revise its plans, with the goal of ensuring that they take into account this new reality and the uncertainties of our rapidly changing world.

Before the Plan or Budget can take effect on 1 July 2020, ICANN's Empowered Community <https://newsalerts.icann.org/Y0d0q03Ng0028002PRC0eE1> now has an opportunity to consider whether it will reject either or both of these documents. The FY21-25 Operating and Financial Plan demonstrate how ICANN org will implement the Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021–2025 that was adopted by the ICANN Board in June 2019. The FY21 Operating Plan and Budget reflects the planned activities for 01 July 2020 through 30 June 2021. In addition, the plans adopted take into account the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on ICANN org's current and planned work. The operating and budget documents include: - Highlights <https://newsalerts.icann.org/lrR2O000P18g0E2d00N0Y0C> and a summary of changes to the original draft plans posted for public comment on 20 December 2019, compared to the current adopted plans, including new assumptions and financial projections. - An overview of the 15 Operating Initiatives <https://newsalerts.icann.org/G1R0Er208N0XC0dP0000gN2> and how ICANN org will achieve the objectives and goals set out in the ICANN Strategic Plan. - A detailed breakdown of the 35 functional activities that are necessary to operate the organization and overall work that ICANN org performs. - The adopted FY21 Budget <https://newsalerts.icann.org/a0200P012C08002EdRNq0gd> The FY21-25 Operating and Financial Plan and the FY21 Operating Plan and Budget will be able to take effect on 1 July 2020 if the Empowered Community rejection process has concluded by that time. Find more information on the Empowered Community actions and upcoming opportunities for participation, here <https://newsalerts.icann.org/a0200P012C08004EfRNq0gd>. Community participation and engagement in ICANN's planning process is a cornerstone of transparency and accountability to the public. The FY21-25 Operating and Financial Plan and FY21 Operating Plan and Budget were the result of 11 months of collaboration between the ICANN org, the community, the Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) Board, and the ICANN Board's Finance Committee (BFC). ICANN thanks all community members who participated in this important process and contributed to improving its outcome.

GAC Statement on the EPDP Addendum
by Alan Greenberg May 6, 2020

May 6, 2020

During last week's CPWG meeting, I reported that we might be approached to see if the ALAC would support the GAC submission to the Public Comment on the EPDP Addendum to its Phase 2 Draft Report. I noted that based on a draft I had seen, the GAC comments were fully in line with those in the ALAC draft comment, and were in line with positions that the ALAC had taken in the past. That did happen and I was given permission to distribute the draft GAC statement to the ALAC. With Maureen's support, the ALAC Members were asked if they would be willing to endorse the GAC statement. I have happy to report that the ALAC unanimously gave its support, and the GAC was so informed. I am attaching here a copy of the statement submitted by the GAC. Alan
