I agree with Allan, this was not the intent of the proposal as developed for Annex F and should be clarified.

Leo – there seems to be a problem with the link for submitting a comment so I will provide one through you and the community.

Appendix C ‘Caretaker Budget’ on page 19 contains the following text:

This draft FY18 Operating Plan and Budget represents the complete set of activities required to provide a reliable and resilient set of IANA Services. As such, it is proposed that the FY18 Operating Plan and Budget be adopted as the "Caretaker IANA Budget" described in Annex F to ICANN’s Bylaws”

Should there be disagreement on the PTI budget in 2025, the FY18 budget would clearly be inadequate as the ‘caretaker budget’. If your intention that the most recent budget approved by PTI, and which has not been objected to by the community should represent the caretaker budget then you should propose this.

Dear Community Members,

PTI’s draft FY18 Operating Plan and Budget was published earlier today for Public Comment. The page describing the Public Comment process is here:

https://www.icann.org/public-comments/fy18-pti-operating-plan-budget-2016-10...

I’d like to draw your attention to the process for asking questions seeking clarification of any details in the document. Please send questions to controller@icann.org<mailto:controller@icann.org> by 4 November so that we can provide you answers in good time for you to make use for them in your responses. We will respond by 18 November.

As we did for ICANN’s FY17 plans, we will publish the questions and our responses in the Comment Forum. We will also write to this list.

Kind regards,

Leo Vegoda For the FY18 Planning Team (Becky Nash, Taryn Presley, Kirsten Wattson, Jessica Castillo, Anand, Mishra)
