‼️ DUE TOMORROW: Planning Prioritization Update

The prioritization process is a step in the annual ICANN planning process, which will permit

ICANN to receive input for the development of the FY25 Draft Plans. The Planning Prioritization

Group comprises members of the ICANN stakeholder groups. ICANN is seeking from the chairs

of the below stakeholder groups to nominate one member and one secondary-member by 7

April 2023:

ASO | ALAC | GNSO/CSG | GNSO/CPH | GNSO/NCSG | ccNSO | GAC | RSSAC | SSAC

The scope of activities to be prioritized are the Board-approved implementation work, such as

PDP recommendations, Specific Review recommendations and the implementation of other

non-policy and advice work.

Please email the name of the members that you have nominated to planning@icann.org<mailto:planning@icann.org>, with a

copy to the Policy Strategic Management team (policy-strat-mgt@icann.org<mailto:policy-strat-mgt@icann.org>).

Moreover, ICANN has published the Planning Prioritization Framework (Version 3) on the

ICANN Finance and Planning Community wiki workspace here (Planning Prioritization [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019e03dlzNhtoQUEmDT...>

Framework V3 [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019e03dlzNhtoQUEmDT...>). The key elements of the framework have not changed; however, based on

feedback received from a lessons learned session with the members of the FY24 planning

prioritization process, ICANN has incorporated several recommendations into version 3.

For additional information on the planning prioritization framework please visit this link [r20.rs6.net]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0019e03dlzNhtoQUEmDT...> for
