A vital part of ICANN's processes is the opportunity for there to be public comment on each substantial piece of work before it is put forward for final approval. This is an archive of one month's public comment periods, arranged according to the month in which the comment period was closed.
Each box below provides a brief explanation of what the comment period hoped to achieve, as well as: links to relevant reports and/or webpages; a link to the official announcement of the comment period; a link to where all existing comments can be found; and an email link for anyone that wished to send in a comment. A "summary/analysis" objectively reviews the comments.

| Operating Plan and Budget 2009 | ||||||
|
Explanation: The draft Operating Plan and Budget for the 2009 financial year has been released for public comment.
As a result of the Strategic Plan, from which the Operating Plan is developed and which then leads through to the Budget, there is a call for substantial expense growth for ICANN. This public comment period is intended to inform the community and provide active community and Board feedback on the proposed objectives and plans. This feedback will be taken into account in arriving at a final plan, which then establishes the resources and objectives for the ICANN community over the next year. For more information on the process run through by the community to arrive at the Operating Plan and Budget, please review the official announcement of this comment period. |

| Travel support | ||||||
|
Explanation: At the February Delhi meeting, there was a public consultation regarding ICANN's approach to travel support funding for the community. After the public consultation in Delhi, a public comment period was held, and the feedback was analyzed and noted online. After receiving and analyzing comments on this draft, it will be updated if needed, and final results reviewed with the Board in Paris. Ultimately, the Board will need to adopt (or reject) the budget impact of this new proposal when the Board approves the budget in Paris. |

| Draft Final Report - IDNC WG Recommendations for ccTLD Fast Track Mechanisms (IDN ccTLD Fast Track) | ||||||
|
Explanation: The IDNC Working Group (IDNC WG) is currently working to develop and report on feasible methods that would enable the timely and efficient ("fast track") introduction of a limited number of non-contentious IDN ccTLDs, while an overall long-term IDN ccTLD policy is being developed. The IDNC WG has created a Draft Final Report designed to highlight the latest topics and issues that need to be considered in developing (1) a mechanism for the selection of the IDN ccTLD string and (2) a mechanism to designate an IDN ccTLD manager. The draft document is being made publicly available at this time solely to alert the community to the latest IDNC WG thinking and to facilitate further discussions at the ICANN Paris meeting later this month. This document has not been signed off by the IDNC Working Group whose members will continue to provide their own comments and input. The IDNC WG will conduct a meeting in Paris during the ICANN meeting. |
