Dear Community Members and Leaders,

We begin our FY16 SO-AC Community Special Budget Process effort. This brief package provides:

•     A summary of the process for FY16 Community Special Budget requests, including a confirmed timeline for the process

•     A set of process principles to govern our request assessment work

•     A copy of the FY16 template request form.

As you can see from the timeline, we hope to trigger the ability to accept community request templates from Monday, January 5 until Saturday, February 28. In preparation for the submission, please review the various documents. We would appreciate any comments or feedback you have on any of the documents. In particular,

•     Feedback on the program process and timeline as drafted

•     Feedback on the program principles as drafted

•     Feedback on the Budget Request Template

We are re-building the wiki and support infrastructure to enable the early January request kick-off date.

I look forward to working with you all again on this effort for FY16.

Best regards,

ICANN Staff (Finance/GSE/Policy)
