Dear Community Members,

Please note that on Wednesday May 3rd, 2023, ICANN published<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-fy2428-operating-fi...> the ICANN FY24–28 Operating and Financial Plan and the ICANN FY24 Operating Plan and Budget, which the Board approved at the end of April.

These versions have taken into consideration the comments, and where appropriate and feasible, have incorporated them into the plans. There were, however, no significant changes to the draft FY24 plans published in December. Please refer to the Highlights document<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-fy2428-operating-fi...>, which includes a summary of changes from the draft FY24 plans. Additionally, please see the Summary Report<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/operating-plan-and-budget/summary-report-...> of the Public Comment proceeding published in March.

Under ICANN's Bylaws<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en>, following the Board's adoption of these plans, the Empowered Community may consider whether to reject the plans as adopted. As long as there is no Empowered Community rejection process pending, the plans will take effect on 1 July 2023.

Thank you to the community members who contributed to this process.
