Dear Councilors, Just reposting what Steve and others have shared but since the Operational Design Phase has been the subject to a number of exchanges during Council SPS, I want to make sure no one misses the announcement of this webinar on this topic. Regards, Philippe https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2021-01-04-en Webinar Operational Design Phase Concept Paper: Update and Community Discussion This page is available in: * English * العربية<http://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2021-01-04-ar> * Español<http://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2021-01-04-es> * Français<http://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2021-01-04-fr> * Pусский<http://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2021-01-04-ru> * 中文<http://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2021-01-04-zh> LOS ANGELES – 4 January 2021 – The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) invites the community to join us for a public webinar on 13 January 2021 at 20:00 UTC [local times<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=ODP+Webinar+&iso=2...>] to discuss the updated draft of the Operational Design Phase Concept Paper<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/odp-form-concept-paper-18dec20-e...>. The concept paper proposes an Operational Design Phase (ODP) that is to become part of the policy and implementation life cycle. The ICANN organization will conduct the ODP for consensus policy recommendations that are approved by the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council. The purpose of the ODP is to provide the Board with relevant information to decide, as required by the Bylaws, whether a recommendation is in the best interest of the ICANN community or ICANN. An initial draft of the ODP paper was distributed to the Supporting Organization and Advisory Committee (SO/AC) chairs on 2 October 2020. Following community input during ICANN69 and several written community submissions, ICANN org updated the draft and shared it with the SO/AC chairs on 17 December 2020, requesting community input by 22 January 2021. ICANN org will use the webinar to present the updated paper, answer any questions, and provide a forum for feedback. All feedback will feed into an updated final version of the ODP Concept Paper. The ODP framework will ultimately be incorporated into the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF<https://www.icann.org/uploads/ckeditor/CPIF_v2.0_2019CLEAN.pdf>). For more information, please, see also the ODP wiki space: https://community.icann.org/x/04omCQ.

To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a not-for-profit public-benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ce message et ses pieces jointes peuvent contenir des informations confidentielles ou privilegiees et ne doivent donc pas etre diffuses, exploites ou copies sans autorisation.
