Dear Community- Finance Mailing List Members,
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) invites the community to participate in an informational webinar about the draft operating and financial plans for fiscal year 2027 (FY27). The webinar will provide an overview of the draft plans for ICANN and Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) which will be posted for separate, concurrent Public Comments on 16 December 2025. The webinar will be presented at two different times, and community members can register for one or both of the sessions:

ICANN's Five-Year Operating and Financial Plan articulates the action plans and timing of activities and milestones identified to achieve ICANN's strategic objectives and goals. This plan is intended to serve as a comprehensive view of the activities that ICANN will perform or support to satisfy ICANN's FY26–30 Strategic Plan and to carry out ICANN's mission in the public interest over the next five years.
ICANN's Annual Operating Plan and Budget sets forth the focus of effort and organizational commitment for the published fiscal year. ICANN's Annual Operating Plan and Budget includes the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and PTI Annual Operating Plan and Budget. The separate IANA FY27 Operating Plan and Budget and PTI FY27 Operating Plan and Budget include the itemization of costs associated with delivery of the IANA functions.
The Public Comment proceedings will run from 16 December 2025 through 12 February 2026. During the webinars, ICANN will present information to aid the attendees in understanding the draft plans, as well as provide an opportunity for questions and answers designed to assist in Public Comment participation. This webinar will be recorded and the link to the recording will be posted on the FY27 Operating Plan and Budget ICANN Community Workspace.
