Dear Janis, I am pleased to inform you that ICANN org has delivered<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-delivers-operational-d…> the Operational Design Assessment<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/ssad-oda-25jan22-en.pdf> (ODA), the final deliverable of the Operational Design Phase (ODP), to the ICANN Board today. The ODA was sent to the GNSO Council as well, and published on our webpage at www.icann.org/ssadodp<http://www.icann.org/ssadodp>. This marks the end of the SSAD ODP. On behalf of the entire project team, I would like to thank you for your collaboration as well as your help on facilitating the communication with the Council. I wish you well and hope our paths cross again.

Monthly call for January
by Yuko Yokoyama Jan. 14, 2022

Jan. 14, 2022

Dear Janis, Happy new year! I hope you had a great holiday break. As you may recall, we have shared the implementation timeline, costs, and fee structures of the SSAD during our webinar with the GNSO Council on 20 December and we are planning on the community webinar #5 on the same topics on 18 January at 15:00 UTC. The community webinar will provide further details about how the ODP team reached to those findings, however no new design concept or figures will be introduced. Also to note, the project team also met with the GAC on 11 January to provide the same briefing we provided the Council. If interested, the recording is available here<https://icann.zoom.us/rec/play/WIeifvJCnbhdFXk6ttx6_PAqc3suErPGfxlwrPK8uIUo…>. This community webinar #5 marks our last webinar with the community on the ODP team’s analysis. The Operational Design Assessment (ODA), the final deliverable report to the ICANN Board, is in its final review process and is on track to be delivered to the Board later this month or early February. Subsequently, the ODA will be published for the community view. We understand that the ICANN Board and the Council will start the consultation process and the first meeting is expected to be scheduled for late January. As we do not have any new information to share beyond that, I wanted to ask if you’d still like to meet in January as a part of our monthly cadence. Please let me know. Regards, Yuko Yokoyama Program Director Strategic Initiatives, Global Domains & Strategy Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)

Dear Paul, The community survey opened on 5 July 2021 and ICANN org conducted the outreach through various avenues to promote it. In order to obtain additional feedback from the community, the deadline was extended and the survey remained open for a little over a month, closing on 6 August 2021. While we appreciate your suggestion, the SSAD Operational Design Phase is close to completion. That said, as noted during the presentation to the Council on 20 December 2021, ICANN org is engaging with a market researcher to better gauge the demand. This work is expected to take place outside the scope of the SSAD ODP, in early 2022. Regards, Yuko Yokoyama From: "McGrady, Paul D." <PMcGrady(a)taftlaw.com> Date: Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at 4:00 PM To: Yuko Green <yuko.green(a)icann.org> Cc: "odp-ssad(a)icann.org" <odp-ssad(a)icann.org> Subject: [Ext] Re: [ODP-SSAD] gathering potential use information Thanks Yuko, Thank you for your email. I know the survey that you’re referring to appears to have been open for less than two weeks. I do not wish to speak for INTA but as you can imagine attempting to survey a 10,000 member organization for that kind of data within less than a two week period during the major July holiday season is not practical. I encourage you to reconsider the suggestion I am making and reach out to a INTA to see if you can get the information. So many of your models rely on information that is simply missing and INTA, given enough time, might actually help you refine those models so that you’re not stuck with usage and dollar ranges that are so broad. However if ICANN is not open to that approach I understand. But I do believe however that it is a missed opportunity to get some clarity for your project.

The SSAD ODP team did not specifically reach out to INTA to survey their membership, however, we did invite the full community to participate in the requestor-focused survey<https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/community-input-needed-ssad-…> in July 2021. In the survey, some of the questions we asked were the monthly average of query for 2019 and 2020, and the type of organization they represented. The SSAD ODP team thanks you for your question, as well as your participation in the discussion we held on 20 December 2021.

I didn’t want to raise this question in front of Goran, in case the answer was “no.” Did Staff reach out to INTA to survey its membership regarding how many SSAD requests per year each member was likely to submit? I expect that would give Staff a good baseline to peg the estimates on usage. If you didn’t, I am sure that Lori Schulman from INTA would be happy to guide you on how to make that ask.
