Dear all, The ICANN Draft Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2021–2025<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/revised-strategic-plan-2021-2025...> sets out five strategic objectives and related goals based on areas of challenge and opportunity for ICANN to shape its future successfully. For ICANN to achieve on those objectives it must prioritize its work, plan resources appropriately and ensure that its financial plan is developed thoroughly, also considering existing projects, daily operations and anticipated projects not related directly to the Draft Strategic Plan. The objective of this public comment is to obtain feedback on the two key elements of the Fiscal Year 2021–2025 Operating & Financial Plan (FY21–25 O&FP): 1. Financial assumptions and high-level projection of the "base-case," "high," and "low" funding scenarios for Fiscal Year 2021 through Fiscal Year 2025. 2. 16 major operating initiatives that ICANN org should prioritize to successfully achieve the objectives set out in the FY21–25 Draft Strategic Plan. Current Status: This draft includes high-level descriptions of ICANN's Operating Initiatives and why they are important to the success of the FY21–25 Draft Strategic Plan, paired with the financial assumptions and high-level projection of the "base-case," "high," and "low" funding scenarios for Fiscal Year 2021 through Fiscal Year 2025. Next Steps: Based on feedback from this public comment period, ICANN org will develop a comprehensive draft FY21–25 O&FP that will be posted for public comment in December 2019. The Fiscal Year 2021 Operating Plan & Budget (FY21 OP&B) will also be posted for public comment in December 2019. Posting both plans at the same time will allow the ICANNcommunity to review the first-year plan in the context of the five-year plan.
