ALAC Hosted Community Session: Unfinished Business and the Role of the ODP
This is the third ALAC hosted community session on policy related topics that benefit from further community discussion. The focus of this session was on the role of the ICANN org Operational Design Phase (ODP) and, at a high-level, the two ODPs that have happened thus far.
During this session, panelists from ICANN org, the ICANN Board, and the ICANN community discussed what criteria exists as well as gaps in regards to determining when a policy discussion is to be sent to ICANN org versus the ICANN community.
- Broad understanding that while these discussions are complex, there are always ways to reflect on processes and possible improvements.
- Recognition of needing more points of entry for the community to provide input during an ODP, and community shepherds should be approached to clarify positions where inconsistencies occur.
- Agreement for an increased role of staff participation earlier in group discussion processes, in order to address any issues raised by the community.
Action Items:
- None.
