LOS ANGELES – 08 May 2020 – Today, the Internet Corporation of Assigned

ICANN's FY21-25 Operating and Financial Plan
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/G1R0Er208N0XC0dP0000gN2> and FY21 Budget
<https://newsalerts.icann.org/a0200P012C08002EdRNq0gd>. Before the Plan or
Budget can take effect on 1 July 2020, ICANN's Empowered Community

opportunity to consider whether it will reject either or both of these
documents.

the ICANN Board in June 2019. The FY21 Operating Plan and Budget reflects
the planned activities for 01 July 2020 through 30 June 2021. In addition,
the plans adopted take into account the potential impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on ICANN org's current and planned work. The operating and budget
documents include:

   -

Community participation and engagement in ICANN's planning process is a
cornerstone of transparency and accountability to the public. The FY21-25
Operating and Financial Plan and FY21 Operating Plan and Budget were the
result of 11 months of collaboration between the ICANN org, the community,
the Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) Board, and the ICANN Board's Finance
Committee (BFC). ICANN thanks all community members who participated in
this important process and contributed to improving its outcome.
