LOS ANGELES - The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), along with its affiliate Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), invite the community to join a public webinar to discuss planning for the fiscal year 2024 (FY24) Operating Plan and Budget for delivering the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) functions. This webinar will explain the planning process, the proposed IANA operational priorities for FY24, key assumptions, and timelines, a press release stated by ICANN. 

The annual Operating Plan and Budget for the IANA functions has two components. The first is a budget and operating plan for PTI, the ICANN affiliate that performs the IANA functions, which outlines the planned activities and resources to deliver the core IANA functions. The second component includes the PTI budget plus additional programs and costs that the ICANN organization incurs while overseeing and enabling the IANA functions.

Community questions and comments will be welcome. In addition to the webinars, the community has further opportunity to participate in this planning process. Input received during the webinars and other outreach will inform draft plans that will be submitted for Public Comment in September. The finalized operating plans and budgets will be considered for formal adoption in late 2022.
