Dear ICANN Community Member,

Due to the change in the Public Comment period for the Draft FY21-FY25 Operating and Financial Plan and Draft FY21 Operating Plan and Budget from Tuesday, 17 December 2019, to Friday, 20 December 2019, ICANN org has prepared an overview of the documents to provide information that may be helpful prior to the release of the complete drafts.  In addition, the Public Comment period has been extended by 7 days to 58 days (excluding holidays) to give the community more time to review the documents

The overview information is published on the Finance community wiki page.

To learn more and ask questions during the Public Comment window, webinars will be held on:

· 9 January 2020 at 01:00 UTC https://icann.zoom.us/j/935036343 [icann.zoom.us]

· 9 January 2020 at 16:00 UTC https://icann.zoom.us/j/506858960 [icann.zoom.us]

· 14 January 2020 at 16:00 UTC https://icann.zoom.us/j/257109807 [icann.zoom.us]

More details about how to join these webinars will be available in January. ICANN org staff is available to meet with individual community groups to answer questions and help increase understanding about the plans. Please email planning@icann.org to request a meeting..

Thank you,

The ICANN Planning Team
