ICANN's '''Engineering & Information Technology''' ('''E&IT''') department is the foundational "service provider" for ICANN. The E&IT team uses an integrative, collaborative process to gather demands for systems and prioritize work. Twice a year, senior leaders in ICANN org evaluate their respective function's current and future E&IT-related project demands. Projects include optimizing computer, network, and storage infrastructure, custom-coding fit-for-purpose software systems, and optimizing the infrastructure for such systems.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/a-peek-into-the-icann-org-engineering-factory-and-an-update-on-czds-5-11-2020-en A peek into ICANN Org's Engineering "Factory," ICANN Blogs]</ref>
==Frozen Delivery Pipeline Process==
The list of IT demands is managed via the following process. Feedback is gathered from each team, project proposals are aligned with ICANN's strategies, and cross-functional dependencies and impacts and community input are considered to prioritize requests. This process leads to a priority list of E&IT demands for each function within ICANN org. The projects are considered in light of community-reviewed and ICANN Board-approved budgets and the E&IT department’s capacity for each upcoming semester (January-June or July-December). The resulting list is called the “Frozen Delivery Pipeline,” which is then reviewed and approved by ICANN Senior Vice Presidents and the ICANN CEO.
==E&IT Workstreams==
The E&IT department has seven workstreams:
# Community Engagement: supporting [[Engagement]] with the ICANN community.
# Community Collaboration: working on tools and websites used by ICANN org, [[SO]]s, and [[AC]]s, such as the [[Information Transparency Initiative]] (ITI).

# Technical Services: the systems used by ICANN org and/or community to ensure contracted parties meet contractual obligations, such as [[Service Level Agreement Monitoring]] (SLAM), Zone File Access, and [[CZDS]]
# IANA Services: systems for performing the IANA functions, including root zone management.
# [[:Category:ICANN Staff]] Services: for the ICANN org, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) functions for [[HR]] and [[Finance]], Intranet, email, and phone systems
