Hi All, I had volunteered to draft the public comments for NCSG in response to the ICANN FY 25 Operating Plans and Budget. Here is the link to the Google doc where I invite everyone to comment. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UGLgno5o1NwES0g6cquimnYCzu7OnFp5OF00qhi_dic/edit#heading=h.w4n3hs47fynq The deadline for the Public Comments is February 12 so I am assuming we would need it done sooner to pass the council The FY25 plans also cover the Strategic plans, which include the more than 10 Strategic Objectives and Goals and ICANN's response to them. I have tried to cover as many of them as I can, but there are many which I am not as knowledgeable on and hope that others can provide some comments on these operating and strategic initiatives I have not covered. Please add these directly to the Google DOC. I have retained editing right but have allowed commenting by all who are interested. Here is the link to the ICANN documents mentioned in the comment. https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-icann-fy25-plans-12-12-2023 Looking forward to people's comments and to finalising it before the deadline Best, Judith _________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein Mobile/Whats app: +1202-333-6517 E-mail:[log in to unmask] Website:www.jhellerstein.com Linked In:www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY: Draft ICANN FY25 Plans and Draft PTI FY25 Operating Plan and Budget Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024 07:35:40 +1100 From: Tomslin Samme-Nlar <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Hi Judith, Thanks for volunteering.
