<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you can post this to the Council list, I would appreciate it because I am sending this note in my capacity as the ODP Liaison to SubPro and not in my Council role as Liaison to the GAC.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In the Blog Article on SubPro “Work Track 6”, ICANN Org is not referring to “work tracks” in the sense that they were used in the SubPro PDP.  I know the terminology is the same, but you may recall that in
 one of its first updates, the ICANN ODP Team described that it divided its own internal work into “Work Tracks” to perform the ODA.  See

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In each of its updates, the ICANN Org SubPro ODP describes the work of its Work Tracks, and this latest update on November 2<sup>nd</sup> described its own work on Communication and Outreach.  So, this bears
 no relationship to the five (5) work tracks of the SubPro PDP which related to policy development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Therefore, there is no action for the GNSO or community to take.  This is just a project update from the ICANN Org SubPro ODP Team.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><br>
I hope this clarification helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am also posting this on the SubPro ODP mailing list for the benefit of others following the conversation.  If you all can repost on the Council list I would appreciate it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
