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.
