Item 4: COUNCIL VOTE - Adoption of the Amended Charter for the Transfer Policy Review PDP and Approval of the Policy Project Change Request (20 Minutes)

...

In the course of Phase 1 work conducted to date, the WG discovered that certain Phase 2 topics must be addressed before Phase 1 recommendations can be fully developed. As a result, the leadership team prepared a Policy Project Change Request (PCR) to update its work plan to consolidate all work into a single phase and change the order in which topics are considered. This will impact the timeline for key deliverables. In order to ensure that Council fully understood the potential changes prior to being asked to accept the Project Change Request (PCR), the changes and potential implications were shared with the Council and reviewed during the January meeting. Because the PDP was initially chartered in two phases, as a consequence of the PCR, the charter requires minor revisions to remove references to phases.

Item 5: COUNCIL DISCUSSION - Update on the Board's Consideration of the SubPro Recommendations and ODA (15 Minutes)

On 12 September 2021 the ICANN Board directed the ICANN President and CEO to organize the resources required to begin work on the Operational Design Phase (ODP) for the GNSO’s New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Final Report and the Affirmations, Recommendations, and Implementation Guidance contained in that report. On 20 December 2021, ICANN org announced that the SubPro ODP had formally launched, starting at the beginning of January 2022. The ODP Team has shared numerous updates to the community and sent several sets of assumptions/questions to the GNSO Council via the Council’s liaison to the ODP. 

While ICANN org published the SubPro Operational Design Assessment (ODA) on 12 December, the Council received a briefing during a webinar on 7 December. The Council formed a small team to review the ODA in detail and provided its input to the ICANN Board on 20 January, in advance of the Board's workshop in January 2023. As discussed in the Chair's blog, the ICANN Board spent a full day reviewing the SubPro Outputs and ODA.
