Resolved (2016.06.27.01), the Board adopts the FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan [PDF, 680 KB].
On 05 March 2016, a draft of the FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan was posted for public comment. This version was based on numerous discussions with members of the senior ICANN Management, and extensive consultations with ICANN Supporting Organizations, Advisory Committees, and other stakeholder groups throughout the prior several months.
This FY17 Update to the Five-Year Operating Plan will have a positive impact in that it provides a proper framework pursuant to which ICANN will be operated. It also provides the basis for the organization to be held accountable in a transparent manner. This will have a fiscal impact on ICANN and the community as is intended. This should not have anything but a positive impact on the security, stability and resiliency of the domain name system (DNS) with respect to any funding that is dedicated to those aspects of the DNS.
This is an Organizational Administrative Function that has already been subject to public comment as noted above.
