Dear OFB-WG Members,
On behalf of the OFB-WG co-chairs, we are seeking At-Large Community volunteers to consider the *Draft PTI FY27 Operating Plan and Budget <https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/draft-pti-fy27-operating-plan-and-budget-16-12-2025>* recently posted for public comment by ICANN org.
Your insights and/or expertise on the subject matter for public comment would be helpful for:
- Firstly, reviewing and identifying any need for the ALAC to submit a comment, and secondly, where such need arises, presenting issues - in the form of bullet points - for discussion at one or more Working Group calls. - If the Working Group subsequently reaches consensus on the need for an ALAC comment, volunteering as a penholder to craft a concise thoughtful response (i.e., an ALAC statement) to this public comment proceeding.
If you are interested in volunteering to be a reviewer and/or penholder, please reach out to At-Large Staff (staff@atlarge.icann.org), copying the OFB-WG co-chairs, Claire Craig and Bukola Oronti (ocl@gih.com) by *Wednesday 7 January, 2026. *

- *Reviewer(s)*: Establish if an ALAC comment is needed. - *Second Planning Webinar*: 14 January - *Reviewer(s)*: Initial Bullet Point(s) presentation and rationale for discussion in order to establish working group consensus – OFB call on *15 January 2026*
