  • GNSO Council SSAD ODA Small Team:
    • Noted that community has raised that the SSAD ODA does not provide all the answers in considering SSAD recommendations for implementation.
    • SSAD is a big project, there are questions on the financial sustainability, usage, etc. Possibility of a pilot in order to test a few hypotheses.
    • Still early days for GNSO and small team to review. Small team will go back to the GNSO Council and then to the Board. 
• Topic 2 (4b): Subsequent Procedures Operational Design Phase (SubPro ODP)
  • ALAC: Could Council provide an update on the SubPro ODP process, including questions being discussed with the ICANN Org SubPro ODP Team? What is Council doing within the ODP process to address known issues for the next round?

  • GNSO Council DNS Abuse Small Team: 
    • GNSO council has sent outreach forms to the community (including ALAC). with responses expected by end of March.
