Description

Prioritization continues to be critical in supporting the needs and demands of the ICANN organization’s (org) global community. Due to the large volume and complexity of implementation work resulting from policy and non-policy work, there is a need for ICANN to prioritize the implementation work. The Planning Prioritization consists of a series of virtual sessions with nominated community members and facilitated by the org’s Planning team. Other subject matter experts may attend the sessions. In addition, a liaison from the ICANN Board will attend the sessions. Prior to the development of the draft plans by org, the community is consulted about the planning process, timeline, assumptions and priorities. The output of the planning prioritization process is a list of prioritized Board-approved recommendations to be considered during the drafting of the next operating plan and budget processThe scope of activities that the group reviews during the prioritization process are the Board-approved org implementation work, such as Policy Development Process (PDP) recommendations, Specific Reviews recommendations, and the implementation of other non-policy and advice work. In addition, the Planning Prioritization Group will be invited to assess the rationale supporting suggestions of the retirement of non-policy recommendations, as well as early input received from SO/ACs.
