The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) invites the community to participate in an informational webinar about the draft operating and financial plans for fiscal year 2028 (FY28). The webinar will provide an overview of the draft plans for ICANN and Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), which will be published in separate, concurrent Public Comment proceedings. The webinar will be presented at two different times, and community members can register for one or both sessions:

ICANN's Five-Year Operating and Financial Plan articulates all of ICANN's work. This includes the Strategic Initiatives that support the achievement of the Strategic Objectives identified in ICANN's FY26-30 Strategic Plan, as well as ICANN's continuing operations that are driven by ICANN's mission and are distributed within Functional Activities. It is intended to provide a comprehensive view of the activities that ICANN will perform or support to implement ICANN's FY26-30 Strategic Plan and to carry out ICANN's mission in the public interest.

ICANN's Annual Operating Plan and Budget sets forth the focus of effort and organizational commitment for FY28. ICANN's Annual Operating Plan and Budget includes the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and PTI Annual Operating Plan and Budget. The separate IANA FY28 Operating Plan and Budget and PTI FY28 Operating Plan and Budget include the costs associated with delivering the IANA functions.

During the webinar, ICANN will present information to help attendees understand the draft plans and provide an opportunity for questions and answers to support participation in the Public Comment proceedings. This webinar will be recorded, and a link to the recording will be posted on the FY28 Operating Plan and Budget Community Workspace.

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address - a name or a number - into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
