Dear Community members:
Community participation and engagement in ICANN's planning process is a cornerstone of our transparency and accountability to our stakeholders. On 23 May 2025, ICANN issued a blog<https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/transparency-on-the-updated-assumptio...> as a follow up to the recent announcement<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-board-adopts-fy2630-ope...> published on 3 May 2025 that the ICANN Board adopted the ICANN FY26–30 Operating and Financial Plan, ICANN FY26 Operating Plan and Budget, and IANA FY26 Operating Plan and Budget (collectively, the 2026 ICANN Plans).
To address community input since the publication of the adopted 2026 ICANN Plans, and to enhance the transparency on the revisions made from the versions posted for public comment, the FY26 Operating Plan and Budget Table of Changes<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/projfinadhocws/pages/10663...> has been expanded to include additional explanations and is now published along with a short presentation on the ICANN Finance and Planning Community Group Workspace<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/projfinadhocws/pages/10663...>
In addition, on 28 May 2025, the ICANN Planning and Finance team held a ICANN83 Prep Week webinar<https://icann83.sched.com/event/23LLb/finance-and-planning-update>, where the revisions of the adopted the ICANN FY26–30 Operating and Financial Plan and the ICANN FY26 Operating Plan and Budget (collectively, the 2026 ICANN Plans) were presented.
Please send any questions you have about this email to planning@icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>.
Sincerely,
ICANN’s Planning and Finance Team
