<div>ICANN published a new public consultation on Draft FY21-25 Operating & Financial Plan and Draft FY21 Operating Plan & Budget. This process is important for community to share input on budget and financial plan in order to ensure resources and funding for critical elements such as policy making in GNSO. </div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>As group, we are following this more closely understanding the new powers coming with Empowered Community including budget approval and the discussion about ICANN financial stability. For more background and explanation you can find more info here: <a href="https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-opplan-budget-fy21-25-2019-12-20-en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.icann.org/public-comments/draft-opplan-budget-fy21-25-2019-12-20-en</a></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>I created this google doc to be used during the drafting and accessible to all in order to kick off the discussion and comments: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/17iJn1u9Bk0J0hUfpDM9bsmQsqI9MegpWVF62Mwf1SBY/edit?folder=0AMJI0CB4QegiUk9PVA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://docs.google.com/document/d/17iJn1u9Bk0J0hUfpDM9bsmQsqI9MegpWVF62Mwf1SBY/edit?folder=0AMJI0CB4QegiUk9PVA</a></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Please let me offline if you want to volunteer to participate in drafting the NCSG comment and join the drafting team. This effort should be led by NCSG Finance Committee which will work with other volunteers to draft the NCSG Comment.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>You can find previous public comments submitted by NCSG in this wiki page <a href="https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Public+Comments+-+2019" style="background-color:#b8eab8;" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://community.icann.org/display/gnsononcomstake/Public+Comments+-+2019</a> and listing those who drafted them. </div>
