Detailed Information
Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:

The budget process and its outcome formalized in this document aims at 
establishing a detailed, documented description of the operational activities 
of the coming fiscal year and their financial impacts. The budget needs to be 
built with sufficient details to allow an adequate monitoring of activities 
during the year, while understanding the flexibility that is required to handle 
a reality that is always different than what was anticipated. Consistent with 
our multi-stakeholder model, this budget is the result of input from ICANN 
constituency groups, stakeholders, the Board of Directors and the ICANN Staff. 
The involvement of the various ICANN stakeholders in the operating plan and 
budget building process is a corner stone to the success of the 
multi-stakeholder model.
Section II: Background:

New leadership has brought immediate focus on the transformation of the 
organization towards operational excellence, initiated a renewed and expanded 
stakeholders' engagement activity, and addressed the strategic requirements of 
the new gTLD program. In fiscal year 2014, the organization will implement 
strategic initiatives designed in FY13: the transformation into a worldwide 
matrix organization, expanding ICANN's presence internationally, thus allowing 
a truly global stakeholders' engagement, implementing a DNS Industry Engagement 
organization, and further strengthening the infrastructure.
