<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Council Leadership,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let the Council know that the responses to Question Set 4 have been submitted. A big thank you to the small team of Councilors that helped me with the responses including Paul, Justine, Desiree, Flip and of course ICANN support.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First, just a reminder that the responses to Question Set 5 are due on Wednesday next week. Justine and Paul have weighed in on it, so thanks to them again!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second, I had a call this week with the ICANN SubPro Team (minus Karen who was on a well deserved vacation). In addition to discussing the Question Sets, I wanted to relay the following:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="1">
<li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">The ODP Team informed me that the SO/AC leaders did not seem to have any interest in a SubPro session at ICANN 75 in KL. I wanted to verify that this was the case since I had not
heard anything from the SO/AC leaders on this. I also wanted to say that this could be an important missed opportunity for us to start some of the needed discussions including on the complete set of ODP Assumptions (See next item). There is a lot of work
ahead of us, so I just wanted to verify that the community did or did not want a SubPro session.<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="2">
<li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">At some point in August, ICANN will publish its final set of assumptions that will be included in the Operational Design Analysis (ODA). This sets the basis for setting the budget
and dictating the resources that will be needed to implement and Launch the next round(s). As this would be timely, I do believe it may be worth discussing with the Community at ICANN 75 if that is something the community were interested in.<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="3">
<li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Whether or not there is a session at ICANN 75, the ODP Team has reminded me to let you all know that they are available to meet with any constituency, SG or AC at ICANN 75 to discuss
the status of the project.<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="4">
<li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">At this point Question Set 5 is the last set of questions that the ODP team has. This does not mean that there will not be other questions later, but they believe they have a handle
on all of the Outputs of the GNSO Final Report, the Recommendations and Implementation Guidance.<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="5">
<li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">However, there is still a lot of work ahead of us as the GNSO Community. We need to start planning for the Implementation Review Team and additional work. To do this, I would propose:<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Having this is a discussion item at the GNSO Council SPS since there will be some new Councilors and it will likely have an impact on the work that the Council is going to be responsible
for starting next Calendar Year. The F2F session in LA in December is a great time to discuss the impacts of this on the Council work load.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">If the ODA is delivered in December, the Board could likely vote on it in February or March, which means that the ICANN staff could kick off an IRT shortly thereafter. The Council
should determine whether this IRT will be like normal IRTs that are completely open or whether it will be a limited representative group. If the later, then I would propose starting off the discussion on the composition of this group in January so that when
it is approved, we do not lose a month or two discussing this and getting the logistics set up.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="m_-7462436889296862550MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Although we are likely kicking off the GGP on Applicant Support in August (hopefully), there are going to be other discreet topics that will need to be addressed and they may be a
lot for a single IRT. This includes:<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
