Thank you. -The Planning Team From: Planning <planning(a)icann.org> Date: Tuesday, March 1, 2022 at 3:01 PM To: "community-finance(a)icann.org" <community-finance(a)icann.org> Cc: Victoria Yang <victoria.yang(a)icann.org>, Margaret Benavides <margaret.benavides(a)icann.org>, Giovanni Seppia <giovanni.seppia(a)icann.org>, Xavier Calvez <xavier.calvez(a)icann.org>, Planning <planning(a)icann.org> Subject: Now Published - ICANN Draft Planning Prioritization Framework Version 1 Dear ICANN Community, Planning at ICANN is one of 15 Operating Initiatives included in ICANN’s Operating Plan since FY21. A key goal of this operating initiative is to improve ICANN organization’s (org) ability to prioritize during the annual planning process. As part of this initiative, the org planning team led the creation of a Draft Planning Prioritization Framework to help the ICANN ecosystem prioritize its work within the planning cycle in a manner that is transparent, inclusive, and efficient. The Draft Planning Prioritization Framework V1 is now published on the ICANN Finance and Planning Community wiki workspace here.<https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/ICANN+Planning+Prioritiz…> Background: From April 2021 through January 2022, the org held a total of 17 webinars and consultations with the community. During these consultations, the org received community input on the proposed draft framework for developing a prioritization step in the planning process. The org appreciates the opportunity to engage with community members on this project and thanks all community members for their input received thus far in the project. The Draft Planning Prioritization Framework is intended to serve as a guide for the periodization step during the annual planning process. The framework describes and outlines what to prioritize, who will prioritize, when to prioritize, how to prioritize, etc., so that the community, org, and Board can collaborate efficiently and effectively during the planning process. A key objective for this project is to seek broad and diverse input and the org is committed to being open and transparent throughout the development of the framework. ICANN org will hold a webinar about the Draft Planning Prioritization Framework V1 following ICANN73. A blog with the date for this webinar will be published shortly. For additional information on the planning prioritization framework project please visit this Link<https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/ICANN+Planning+Prioritiz…> for presentations and webinar recordings. Sincerely, Becky Nash, VP Planning Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Los Angeles, California, USA www.icann.org

Explanation regarding ICANN headcount growth in FY23 budget.
by Irina Danelia March 3, 2022

March 3, 2022

Dear Councilors, For those who are interested – there is a response from ICANN Planning to SOPC regarding headcount growth (attached) In short: The 37 new hires budgeted in FY23 roughly corresponds to the open positions that lCANN is currently recruiting. The need for new hires comes from the expanding of workload in volume and complexity. For example new resources will be needed to implement about 250 recommendations from reviews and ccWGs (i.e., ATRT3, SSR2, CCT, RDS, WS2, Effectiveness of MSM, and others), and the RSS governance model. Because of the variables and unknowns, ICANN does not allocated to service groups and functional activities, and presents them at the total organizational level. As and when position requests have been submitted and approved, they are accurately reported into the appropriate functional activities. ICANN has a process to strategically evaluate each new hire. Each request must be approved by the ICANN CEO, CFO, and SVP of Global HR. This information will be included in ICANN’s staff report of FY23 budget Public Comment Regards, Irina From: Ccnso-sopcommittee <ccnso-sopcommittee-bounces(a)icann.org> On Behalf Of Bart Boswinkel via Ccnso-sopcommittee Sent: Friday, February 25, 2022 2:37 PM To: ccNSO-SOPCommittee(a)icann.org Cc: Planning <planning(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-sopcommittee] FW: [Gnso-sc-budget] Meeting Minutes - GNSO Council - Standing Committee on ICANN's Budget & Operations (SCBO) - 26 Jan 2022 14:00 Dear all, Please find included responses from ICANN’s planning team on questions with respect to headcount during the joint SCBO-ccNSO call. Kind regards, Bart From: Planning Date: Tuesday, 22 February 2022 at 22:51 To: Bart Boswinkel, Berry Cobb Subject: FW: [Gnso-sc-budget] Meeting Minutes - GNSO Council - Standing Committee on ICANN's Budget & Operations (SCBO) - 26 Jan 2022 14:00 Bart and Berry, During a joint meeting with the GNSO’s SCBO and the ccNSO’s SOPC, the SOPC asked about the 37 Budgeted New Hires shown in section 4.4 “Expenses by Service Group and Functional Activity” of the FY23 Draft Budget document. That meeting was on 26-Jan-2022 and the meeting minutes are below for reference. Although an initial response was provided during the call, ICANN org has written the attached response to further explain the FY23 budgeted headcount and the overall process. In addition, we plan to provide this information in our staff report of Public Comments and revise the next published version of our FY23 Budget to provide more clarity and details for all community members regarding this topic. Could you please forward the attached response to your respective groups and let us know if there are any questions? Thank you in advance for your help. Sincerely, ICANN Planning Subject: [Gnso-sc-budget] Meeting Minutes - GNSO Council - Standing Committee on ICANN's Budget & Operations (SCBO) - 26 Jan 2022 14:00 Dear GNSO Council - Standing Committee on ICANN's Budget & Operations (SCBO), Please find below the meeting minutes from 26 Jan 2022 14:00: Session Recording: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/VTbwwrJxjrNIhC7RbV4VUGDGSEMLOgMhtbQ79P9bE-QK… Chat Log: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/sdownload/ng2daxhljGZW34N6kHeB33spFJ1ccwwdjAmJ57B… Audio Recording: https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/eG3L4Dw6EIx3ZPUo4-dNoHvr8lJemSBMkjjfx7mIxng2… Notes/Action Items/Minutes: Welcome and Roll call 2 minutes * None Introductions to group’s leadership teams 5 minutes * Sebastien has volunteered to serve as vice-chair. * Andreas Musielak is the new chair and Irina Danelia is the vice-chair. Major Findings Major Findings SCBO + Q&A / Major Findings SOPC + Q &A) * Shift in focus. Generally focus only on Operating Initiatives 3 and 4, which focus on policy development. and 14, which concentrates on project management. However, need to focus more on implementation, particularly for IRTs. * Second focus is that many of the past comments from the SCBO related to software and tools have been supported, via other functions. There is also the SFICR now, which the SCBO believes is reason to ensure ICANN is aware of the forecast of upcoming work. * Resource allocations – asked for increases and ICANN has delivered. Does the SOPC plan to consider? The SOPC believes it will be difficult to hire and expects the lower range of projected new hires. Not always clear how new hires will benefit the community in particular. * In terms of identifying upcoming work and resource intensity, GNSO created an extract of upcoming work from its program management tools. This helps make clear what work will continue and likely begin in the upcoming FY. * The SOPC wants have a conversation with HR to determine rationale for increases in staffing levels. * Q: What is specifically unclear, to help understand if HR is the right group? A: 37 new hires, but it is unclear how they are allocated across functions and it is also unclear how the community benefits. Also important to understand what factors the Org uses to determine when additional resources are needed. * What initiates increases in FTEs – a department/function identifies and demonstrates a need, why that work requires additional FTE, level/qualifications, how the new FTE fits in the org chart. Also requires exec approval, review from HR, and heads of finance and HR, and CEO. * SFICR is for implementation work spanning more than one FY and exceeds $2million. This work seemingly would have been covered by the contingency fund. The SOPC believes the answers from Org are sufficient to understand the SFICR. Noted that using the SFICR to fund the SSAD will be insufficient. * Support for budgeting 3 F2F meetings, even if that may not end up being the case. Believes there is a need for additional KPIs. * Q: Does the SCBO believe the projections for high, medium, low seem reasonable. A: Not something the SCBO has considered. Something the registries and registrars would have better understanding. In the past, the projections have been quite close. Are driven primarily by .com and .net. * The Operating Initiatives and Functional Activities have Targeted Outcomes. Are the additional KPIs needed relative to the Target Outcomes, or something different? KPIs were developed for IANA, which is service/transaction oriented. However, KPIs for other less operational activities (e.g., policy) is far different. There could potentially be KPIs to be considered for the community side. * Example of KPI that does not mean much – number of reports published in a year * The GNSO has focused on project management and effective planning, which helps inform comments to the budget. Next Steps per group & exploring possible joint initiatives Next Steps SCBO & initiatives + Q&A / Next Steps SOPC & Initiatives + Q&A * SOPC wants to work jointly with ICANN to develop KPIs. Need to understand which projects are bringing the most benefit. Anything the GNSO can help to define the KPIs? * Seek to better understand factors and process for FTEs, rationale for any increases * Sebastien to run model on gTLD forecasting * Finance will seek to better account for SCBO/SOPC concerns proactively, and not just wait for public comments. * Share comments with other group, determine if there is any need for further discussion. SCBO will have a draft by 31 Jan. AOB (2 minutes) * None Future meetings, if any, wrap-up (5 minutes) * TBD, based on email exchanges? * Believes an additional meeting, not necessarily just jointly, to discuss headcount, would be helpful. Closing * None

some career news..
by Jordan Carter March 2, 2022

March 2, 2022

hello fellow Council members! I am writing to let you know that after nine years as CEO at InternetNZ, I am stepping down from that role in the middle of this year. A link to the media release, being sent out in about 45 mins, is at the end of this email. InternetNZ is fine with me remaining a member of the ccNSO Council, and I am committed to supporting Alejandra as Vice Chair for the coming year if you choose to re-elect me to that role. I can make that work with more energy and focus once I have moved out of the CE role, with fewer other things demanding my attention. I wanted to share this news before the election process, so you knew for sure that there is no problem with me carrying on in the Council. Alongside that, I will be taking some time to work out what I do next in my career - I don't have the next job lined up in advance. Any questions, let me know! Here's the release: https://internetnz.nz/news-and-articles/internetnz-chief-executive-jordan-c… bests Jordan -- *Jordan Carter (he/him)* Group Chief Executive *InternetNZ | Ipurangi Aotearoa* Helping New Zealanders harness the power of the Internet www.internetnz.nz *M* +64 21 442 649 *O* +64 4 555 0123 [image: InternetNZ]
