Dear members of the Empowered Community Administration, We write to follow up on two notices that were delivered recently to you as the Empowered Community Administration. On 30 April 2018, the Address Supporting Organization (ASO) notified the Empowered Community of its reappointment of Mr. Ron da Silva to Seat 9 on the ICANN Board of Directors. As the sole designator of ICANN, the Empowered Community must designate all Directors except for the President ex officio (see https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article7) Please let us know if you would like us to draft a brief notice for your review and send on your behalf. On 19 May 2018, the ICANN Secretary notified the Empowered Community Administration of the Board’s action to approve a Standard Bylaw Amendment relating to the Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) (see https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/ecadmin/attachments/20180523/ee719195/Notice… for the amendment sent on 21 May to clarify the notice first sent n 19 May). Under the ICANN Bylaws, this notification initiated a 21-day Rejection Action Petition Period during which any individual may petition a Decisional Participant in the Empowered Community seeking to reject the Board action under Annex D of the Bylaws. This 21-day Rejection Action Petition Period will expire at 11.59 p.m. Los Angeles time on Saturday 9 June (06.59 a.m. UTC on Sunday 10 June). Should such a petition be filed and accepted by the Decisional Participant in question within the Rejection Action Petition Period, a 7-day Rejection Action Petition Support Period will be initiated (during which the Decisional Participant must seek the support of at least one other Decisional Participant) and the Decisional Participant will also have to send a Rejection Action Petition Notice to the Empowered Community Administration. If, however, no Rejection Action Petition Notice is received by the Empowered Community Administration by the end of the Rejection Action Petition Period, the Empowered Community Administration must notify the ICANN Secretary of its certification that the rejection process has been terminated within twenty-four (24) hours of the expiration of the Rejection Action Petition Period. Please refer to this link for the full process: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD. For clarity, we note that there is no action required of the Empowered Community Administration at this current time. Thank you. Best regards, Mary (on behalf of staff supporting the Empowered Community Administration)
