==Overview==
==Overview==
This mechanism is meant to provide the Board with the necessary operational information to determine the impact of implementing a GNSO Council-approved recommendation. The assessment helps the Board decide whether the recommendations are in the best interests of the ICANN community (ICANN Bylaws, Annex A, Section 9 (a)). An ODP cannot amend or change the substance or intent of the GNSO Council recommendation. It does not allow the reopening or revisiting of the policy discussions that occurred during the PDP. If ICANN staff, the Board, or the community do not understand the intent of a recommendation or feel that questions remain, they must convey their concerns to the GNSO Council.

===History===
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>
