<p class="MsoNormal">This afternoon I had my November call with the ICANN Org SubPro Team led by Karen Lentz. Here is the latest update:<o:p></o:p></p>

<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><u>On Schedule</u>. During that call, ICANN org confirmed that they are in fact on schedule to deliver the Operational Design Assessment the week of December 12<sup>th</sup>. The
team met its deadline for “pens down” which was yesterday and the document is undergoing internal review. In addition, they are working on an executive summary.

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><u>Updated Assumptions</u>. On November 8<sup>th</sup>, ICANN posted a new Assumptions document (<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-assumptions-subsequent-procedures-odp-08nov22-en.pdf">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-assumptions-subsequent-procedures-odp-08nov22-en.pdf</a>)
which contains all of the previous assumptions (in grey) as well some new ones (not in grey).<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><u>GNSO Council Briefing on ODA.</u> The ICANN org ODP team would like to set up a call with the Council the week of December 5<sup>th</sup> to give the Council a preview of the assessment
like they did for the SSAD ODA. They will also go over their expectations on timing, and an input mechanism for feedback on the ODA. Like the SSAD ODA, there will not be a formal public comment period, but there may be opportunities for Q&A and potentially
providing our own input to the Board. <o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="4" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><u>Community Webinar on ODA.</u> After the ODA is released the week of the 12<sup>th</sup>, ICANN is planning on conducting a webinar for the community to discuss the assessment.
It will be open to anyone interested in the program. <o:p></o:p></li></ol>

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><u>Final (?) Question Set.</u> The ICANN SubPro ODP Team has posted an additional question that they would like us to respond to regarding the role of Implementation Guidance where
a Recommendation incorporates by reference such Implementation guidance. They have confirmed that the ODA release is not dependent on the timing of our response to Question Set 6 provided that their view in that question is consistent with ours (which I
believe is). I have copied the question and am working on a proposed response in the following Google Document.

<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><u>Council SPS Planning.</u> We discussed other activities that will need to occur after the ODA is delivered to the Board including the commencement of two (2) IRPs once the ICANN
Board approves the recommendations. The Final Report Recommendations include one IRT for Applicant Support and a second IRT for everything else. We believe it is a good idea to discuss this at the Council SPS in December which involves a discussion of the
work in the coming year for the Council.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
