===Process and Developments===
===Project Timeline===
In the wake of [[ICANN 72]], ICANN org responded to questions and comments that arose during the meeting sessions and in the "hallways."<ref name="odpfaqpost">[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/update-answers-to-questions-related-to-icanns-upcoming-subsequent-procedures-odp-1-12-2021-en ICANN.org Blog - Answers to Questions Related to ICANN's Upcoming SUBPRO ODP], December 1, 2021</ref> [[Karen Lentz]] responded to some of the questions and issues raised and addressed the community's interest in the rapid implementation of SubPro and the next new gTLD round. Lentz stated that the ODP would streamline the process and shorten the overall time to launch a new application round. She also noted that the SubPro work was intended to establish a solid, enduring foundation from which multiple application rounds can be launched.<ref name="odpfaqpost" />
In February, the ODP team published their anticipated timeline for the project:<ref name="odpdash" />
 
On December 20, 2021, ICANN announced the launch of the ODP.<ref name="odplaunch">[https://www.icann.org/en/announcements/details/icann-launches-new-gtld-subsequent-procedures-operational-design-phase-20-12-2021-en ICANN.org - ICANN Launches New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Operational Design Phase], December 20, 2021</ref> Under the board's intended schedule, the ODP should be completed in October 2022.
 
On January 18 and February 28, [[Karen Lentz]] posted updates on the ICANN blog regarding the ODP's work tracks.<ref name="worktrackblog">[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-subsequent-procedures-odp-introducing-the-work-tracks-18-1-2022-en ICANN Blog - SUBPRO ODP: Introducing the Work Tracks], January 18, 2022</ref> She reminded the ICANN community that the SubPro ODP will be complicated, as it requires synthesizing more than 300 affirmations, recommendations, and implementation guidance from the SubPro Final Report and the policies, processes, procedures, and lessons learned from the 2012 New gTLD Program.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-subpro-odp-update-highlighting-the-project-governance-work-track-28-2-2022-en SubPro Update Feb 28, 2022, ICANN Blogs]</ref> The assessment and design process would be organized across nine tracks:
* Project Governance - coordinating the 60 unique projects within the ICANN org to develop the Operational Design Assessment, providing the required tools, resources, guidance, and consistency in the activities, strategy, status reporting, project assumptions, and overall risk assessment oversight and management of the ODP<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-subpro-odp-update-highlighting-the-project-governance-work-track-28-2-2022-en SubPro Update Feb 28, 2022, ICANN Blogs]</ref>
* Policy Development and Implementation Materials - org & implementation shepherd work on policies, redrafting the Applicant Guidebook per approved recommendations, and other implementation work
* Operational Readiness - getting the org ready for the influx of applicants, processing, and increase in contracted parties
* Systems and Tools - methods and practices for subsequent rounds, including maintenance and continuous improvement
* Vendors - identifying needs and procuring outside expertise
* Communications and Outreach - keeping the community and others updated
* Resources, Staffing, and Logistics - planning staffing and resource requirements
* Finance - planning, budgeting, and disbursement
* Overarching - monitoring dependencies and overlap with other community and org work<ref name="worktrackblog" />
 
===Community Status Update #1===
ICANN org released its first community update in March 2022, describing its work to date and discussing the future direction of the ODP.<ref name="csu1">[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/community-status-updates-28mar22-en.pdf SUBPRO ODP - Community Status Update], March 28, 2022</ref> ICANN org reported that it was working toward the finalization of the Operational Design Assessment by October 2022. The update also provided figures on hours and resources devoted to the project. A total of 7 full time equivalent (FTE) staff hours had been devoted to the ODP since its initiation in January. The org noted that it intended to allocate and/or hire a total of 22-24 FTE in order to complete the work of the ODP.<ref name="csu1" /> This level of activity would be in line with the budget allocation approved by the board for the project.< ref name="csu1" />
 
The update also provided a timeline that was first published in February, establishing some milestones and significant moments in the ODP process:<ref name="csu1" />
