Thanks Caitlin, Again I think that the work ahead of Council in this arena is most relevant to the tasks before the SCCI. (Go Manju and Ajith!) I also note that: (1) ICANN wants to clarify roles in relation to Implementation Guidance and that is an important area for PDP Working Groups and Council Liaisons in particular. Council's position in relation to Sub Pro was that if ICANN is not able to follow Implementation Guidance, Org and/or Board should come back to Council to explain why Implementation Guidance was not feasible and then propose alternative implementation. (See Council's written response to Sub Pro ODA Question Set #4.) (2) As I understand it, ICANN wants to incorporate the Operational Design Phase (ODP) into the Consensus Policy Implementation Framework (CPIF). Our emphasis on Council has been getting input and assessments on feasibility well ahead of the formal implementation phase covered in the Framework. (Many in the Community were unhappy about delays caused by the time required for the Sub Pro ODP and ODA.) Agree it's a good idea to review the webinar if you have time.

Dear Councilors,
I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to flag a recent webinar <https://icann82.sched.com/event/1udjx/policy-implementation-and-icann-review...> conducted by ICANN Org’s Policy Research and Stakeholder Programs team. On Tuesday, 25 February, our colleagues provided updates on current work they are supporting with the community, including policy implementation work.
I am flagging this because during the first GNSO working session, our colleagues will be joining us to discuss the potential improvements for the entire policy development and implementation lifecycle.
If you are interested in a status update on policy implementation, the Prep Week webinar <https://icann82.sched.com/event/1udjx/policy-implementation-and-icann-review...> on implementation is the place to go for that. If you have specific follow-up questions regarding the updates in the webinar, you are welcome to bring those to the session. However, the primary focus of the session will be a dialogue about improvements to the policy development continuum.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
