Dear Stakeholders and community members, As per our FY16 Budget calendar, we are about to publishing on March 18th the FY16 Draft Operating Plan and Budget, 7 weeks earlier than last year! As usual, we are offering a few kick off calls during which we will review the draft document published, in order to facilitate your work to review and comment. We will publish a recording of the kick off sessions for your convenience, if you would not be able to attend any of the sessions. A doodle poll will be sent shortly for 2 or 3 sessions to be scheduled over the course of next week. Thank you. Best,

Xavier
