The initial draft of the ODP Concept Paper was shared with the [[SO]]/[[AC]] leadership and posted on a blog in early October 2020. THe ODP Concept Paper was then discussed during several [[ICANN 69]] sessions. Written community feedback was gathered throughout November and December 2020. An updated version was shared with community leaders on December 17, 2020, and their feedback was gathered until January 22, 2021. The ICANN Board will vote on the updated version, to be posted on January 29, 2021, and consider whether to launch ODPs for [[EPDP#Phase 2 Report|EPDP Phase 2]] or other consensus recommendations adopted by the GNSO Council.<ref>[https://community.icann.org/display/ODP/Webinar+January+2021?preview=/153520877/155190937/Presentation_ODP_Webinar_final.pdf ODP Presentation January 2021]]</ref>

==Process==
An ODP follows the following process to investigate the feasibility and cost of implementing recommendations for a [[Policy Development Process]] or [[ICANN Reviews|ICANN Review]].
The [[ICANN Board]] receives recommendations from SOs and work teams regarding the adoption of new policy or the implementation of improvement to current policy or ICANN organizations. Often, the board will instruct ICANN staff to conduct an assessment of the feasibility, cost, and scope of the implementations or improvements. ICANN staff now terms that investigatory process the "operational design process," with the resulting staff report being called the "operational design assessment." At a GAC meeting at [[ICANN 71]], [[Lars Hoffman]], of ICANN's policy research team, described the scope of the ODP as follows:
<blockquote>A quick overview of the ODP scope...[it] generally can or may entail a formulation of cost estimates and fiscal impacts that may include design reviews by the Board for workflows, assessment of technical decisions and resourcing, might be questions or information regarding executions for request of information for potential service providers, obviously, the identification of the dependencies on existing work of ICANN org including other recommendation, advice, or policies, and possibly resolution to those dependencies or opportunities to streamline effect and then obviously any other information Board deems relevant to inform its discussion.<ref>[https://71.schedule.icann.org/meetings/s6yQ7pydosLKtJFDM# ICANN 71 Session - GAC Discussion on Subsequent Rounds of New gTLDs, Future GAC Meetings], June 15, 2021</ref><ref>[https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/content=t:attachment,f:%22I71_RTM-Tue15June2021__GAC%20Disc%20on%20Subsequent%20Rounds%20of%20New%20gTLDs%20(1%20of%202)-en.pdf ICANN 71 Transcript - GAC Discussion of Subsequent Rounds of New gTLDs], June 15, 2021</ref></blockquote>

Initiating an ODP will require the Board to specify its scope, which in most cases should be limited to operational design.<br />

'''Structure'''
The ICANN CEO forms a team led by a subject matter expert, encourages the GNSO Council to provide a liaison to the team, and :includes updates and reports on a webpage dedicated to ODPs.
