Dear All, Report on Public Comments on Draft FY17 Operating Plan and Budget and Five-Year Operating Plan Update Now Available ICANN has published its report on public comments<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/report-comments-op-budget-fy17-f...> [PDF, 1.83 MB] for the draft plans for FY17, including an update to its Five-Year Operating Plan. The development process has included a 57-day public comment period<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/op-budget-fy17-five-year-2016-03-05-en>, 35 days of response drafting, and several public calls held to review the comments received in-depth. ICANN has published a detailed report to respond to over 150 separate comments from 12 community groups and people. This is an increase of over 80% on the number of comments received for the draft FY16 plans. The publication date for the report was changed from 31 May 2016 to 6 June 2016 so that ICANN was able to develop full responses to the comments provided. The report has been structured thematically and is accompanied by a sortable spreadsheet, to help readers find the comments and responses they are most interested in. The budget is scheduled for adoption when the ICANN Board meets during ICANN56<https://meetings.icann.org/en/helsinki56> in Helsinki. A cross-community session on the operational side of ICANN’s OPS plan and budget is scheduled at ICANN56 in Helsinki, on Tuesday June 28, 2016, between 17:00 - 18:30 PM. http://sched.co/7NWP Room: Veranda 2<https://icann562016.sched.org/venue/Veranda+2> Adobe Connect https://icann.adobeconnect.com/hel56-veranda2 English Audio http://stream.icann.org:8000/hel56-veranda2 English Audio (Low Bitrate) http://stream.icann.org:8000/hel56-veranda2-en-lo.m3u Best regards, Joke Braeken ccNSO Policy Advisor joke.braeken@icann.org<mailto:joke.braeken@icann.org> Follow @ccNSO on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccNSO Follow the ccNSO on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ccnso/ http://ccnso.icann.org
