There is just over a week left on the public comment period for ICANN’s operating plan and budget for next year, and we have received only a few comments so far. We encourage you to provide your input on how the organization should spend its money in FY10.
Why should you bother?
Because ICANN is responsible for the expenditure of tens of millions of dollars in the interests of the Internet community and the Internet infrastructure itself.
Many times a year ICANN is asked to explain its spending decisions. Each time we point to the Strategic Plan and Operating Plan processes to explain that the community itself has significant input how ICANN spends its money and on what. For the past two years, we have followed a process that allows over four months for the public to comment on how ICANN spends the budget.

In the build up to every ICANN meeting, there is always a glut of public comment periods as reports are finished in time for the community to review them before discussing them in person.
Mexico City is no exception. Although this time, it is very much easier to get a quick overview of what is out from public comment from the front page of the ICANN website (the third box down on the right). Just to present you with another avenue to finding out about these public comment periods however, there are all listed below with quick explanations of what they are and the dates when they close.

Dans quelques jours se tiendra la première des trois réunions internationales de l’ICANN de l’année. Jetons un œil sur ce qui devraient être les principaux sujets de New Delhi.
Le JPA, un point clef pour l’avenir de l’ICANN, sera bien entendu au cœur des discussions. D’autant plus que la fin de la période d’appels à commentaires sur ce dossier coïncide avec la fin de la réunion de New Delhi.
