PTI FY23 Operating Plan & Budget
Whereas, the draft PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget was posted for public comment in accordance with the PTI Bylaws on 15 September 2021. The draft PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget was developed by the PTI and ICANN organization, taking into account community consultations.
Whereas, the PTI Board reviewed the public comment inputs received on the PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget and how PTI management addressed those comments. The public comments received, as well as other solicited community feedback were taken into account to determine required revisions to the draft PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget.
Resolved (PTI.2021.12.13.04), the PTI Board adopts the PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget. The PTI Board directs the PTI President, or his designee, to submit the adopted PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget to the ICANN Board as required under the ICANN Bylaws.
Rationale for Resolution PTI.2021.12.13.04
In accordance with Article 9, Section 9.2 of the PTI Bylaws, the Board is to adopt an annual budget and submit it to the ICANN Board. On 15 September 2021, a draft of the PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget was posted for public comment. This version was based on numerous discussions with senior members of the PTI and ICANN organization, and extensive consultations with the ICANN community, including the customers of the IANA Functions. Subsequent activities, including webinars and email communications, as well comments received through the public comment forum, resulted in minor revisions to the draft that was posted for comment.
The public comments received were summarized and analyzed, and the PTI Board reviewed that summary and analysis, as well as the resulting modifications to the PTI FY23 Operating Plan and Budget.
This FY23 Operating Plan and Budget will have a positive impact in that it provides a framework for PTI's operations and a documented plan to which PTI can be held accountable. This action will have a fiscal impact on ICANN and PTI as is intended. Approving this Operating Plan and Budget is key to maintaining the security, stability and resiliency of the domain name system (DNS), as it is core to maintaining PTI's operations.
This is an Organizational Administrative Function that has already been subject to public comment as noted above.
