Overview
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 review work, there is a need for ICANN to prioritize the implementation work.
“Planning at ICANN” is one of the Operating Initiatives included in ICANN’s Five-Year Operating & Financial Plan. Its objective is to enable ICANN org to prioritize its activities with community input, to deliver our mission in the global public interest in both an efficient and cost-effective way. Due to the large volume and complexity of implementation resulting from policy and review work, there is a need to prioritize the implementation work.
When completed, the final Prioritization Framework will cover major org-led initiatives (such as projects like the Information Transparency Initiative or the Naming Services Portal) and community-driven work (such as the various Policy Development Processes and implementation of their outcomes as well as Reviews, advice and their implementation). When completed, the Framework will The aim is for the final Prioritization Framework to be incorporated into the annual planning process.
To this end, the ICANN Org Planning Department will conduct a pilot project between March – April to test the draft framework a draft framework with the community.

Action
The Planning Team is seeking has sought feedback on the design of the Framework from all SOACs. It has requested that the SOAC groups, including the GNSO's Contracted Parties House, Commercial Stakeholder Group, and Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group, consider participating in the Prioritization Pilot through one representative and one alternate each.
For the GNSO community, the remit of the GNSO Council’s Standing Committee on Budget & Operations (SCBO) is very currently limited, such that it does not have the authority to represent the full interests of the GNSO community. The Planning Team therefore engages directly with the GNSO SG/C leaders and their designated representatives for this particular feedback opportunityproject, facilitated by Policy staff via the GNSO-SG-C-leadership@icann.org mailing list.
Deadlines
None at this timeCPH, CSG & NCSG to appoint 1 representative and (if desired) 1 alternate to participate in the Prioritization Pilot.
