FILED: BC support for Fundamental Bylaws Amendments Related to Grant Program
by Steve DelBianco 15 Sep '24

15 Sep '24

As discussed during our last two BC meetings, the BC filed today in SUPPORT of ICANN Org’s Proposed Fundamental Bylaws Amendments Related to Grant Program<https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-fundamental-byl…> As described by ICANN Org: The updated proposal incorporates specific language into both the Reconsideration (Article 4, Section 4.2) and Independent Review Process (Article 4, Section 4.3) sections of the ICANN Bylaws, but does not otherwise add to or modify the Bylaws governing either Accountability Mechanism. The language added within each section sets out an exclusion that the relevant Accountability Mechanism shall not be used for claims or disputes “relating to decisions to approve or not approve an application to the ICANN Grant Program.” This Bylaws amendment is offered as a way to fully implement part of the Cross-Community Working Group on New gTLD Auction Proceeds (CCWG-AP) Final Report, which recommended that ICANN’s Accountability Mechanisms should not be used to challenge decisions on grant applications. That recommendation, often referred to as “Recommendation 7,” can only be fully implemented if the Bylaws that define each Accountability Mechanism are amended. -- Steve DelBianco Vice chair for policy coordinaation ICANN Business Constituency
