This public comment period is intended to inform the community and provide active community and Board feedback on the proposed objectives and plans. This feedback will be taken into account in arriving at a final plan, which then establishes the resources and objectives for the ICANN community over the next year. For more information on the process run through by the community to arrive at the Operating Plan and Budget, please review the official announcement<http://www.icann.org/announcements/announcement-17may08.htm> of this comment period.
