The '''Prioritization Framework''' is a proposed method for [[ICANN]] to integrate [[ICANN Community|community]], [[ICANN Board|board]], and [[ICANN Organization|org]] priorities into annual strategic & budget planning. The prioritization framework is intended to "achiev[e] an agreed upon definition of what it would mean for the prioritization process to “operate by consensus of the individual SO/ACs, Board, and org members that are participating in the prioritization process.”<ref name="atrt3scorecard">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/resolutions-atrt3-final-recs-board-action-scorecard-30nov20-en.pdf ICANN.org - Board Resources: ATRT3 Scorecard], November 30, 2020</ref> [[ICANN]]'s [[planning]] department is responsible for facilitating prioritization at an organizational level to ensure that prioritized projects are included the annual Operating and Financial plans. Prioritization is tracked against the ICANN Strategic Plan to ensure that we can progress our work effectively. The Board intends to integrate the prioritization of activities into its work plan and add the highest-priority activities to the agenda of each Board Workshop.

The prioritization project ran a pilot within the planning process for fiscal year 2023. The pilot will be used to assess the process design and identify improvements. The current plan, subject to process design and consultation, is for the prioritization process to be inserted into the early phases of the strategic and budget planning arc.<ref name="icann72slides" /> The Briefing Paper and the Pilot will both present opportunities for public comment on the process. During [[ICANN 73]]'s Prep Week, the Planning & Prioritization update reported that the briefing paper would be delivered by the end of February 2022. This was later than the initially proposed timeline. The timing of the pilot program timing remained the same.<ref>[https://73.schedule.icann.org/meetings/4drwwSLLyw2tKWTpa ICANN 73 Archive - Planning & Prioritization Update], February 24, 2022 (must be logged in to ICANN account)</ref>

The pilot included five sessions in March 2022, during which participants reviewed a list of Board-approved recommendations from [[Specific Reviews]] pending ICANN Org implementation. Each recommendation was evaluated in terms of its levels of urgency and importance. Participants needed to either (#) agree with the prioritization level provided by the org and provide an explanation, or (#) adjust the level of prioritization and explain their reasoning. In early April, the org held a wrap-up session with all of the participants to discuss and identify lessons learned from the pilot for the next version of the framework.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/Planning+Prioritization+Framework+Reference+Documents?preview=/192220493/192220497/Draft%20Planning%20Prioritization%20Framework%20Version%201%20-%20Feb%202022%20(1).pdf PPFramework Draft V.1, Feb 2022, Reference Documents, ICANN Community]</ref>

===Planning Prioritization Group===
Planning Prioritization Group (PPG) members were appointed by participating community groups to discuss and agree on a pilot version of prioritizing a list of activities, as described in the Draft Planning Prioritization Framework on 22 February 2022.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/ICANN+Planning+Prioritization+Framework+Project Planning Prioritization Framework Project, ICANN Community Forum]</ref> The group has nine members and nine alternates. One of each from the ASO, ALAC, ccNSO, GAC, RSSAC, and SSAC, and three from the GNSO (one from the CSG, CPH, and NCSG).<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/projfinadhocws/Planning+Prioritization+Framework+Reference+Documents?preview=/192220493/192220497/Draft%20Planning%20Prioritization%20Framework%20Version%201%20-%20Feb%202022%20(1).pdf PPFramework Draft V.1, Feb 2022, Reference Documents, ICANN Community]</ref>
