Greetings, I am very pleased to report that the GNSO, via their Council (in a unanimous vote), has voted in favor of the ccNSO requested change to Section 18.7(b) of the Bylaws regarding the composition of the IANA Naming Function Review Team. We have thus achieved unanimous approval of the Bylaw change across all the SO/AC’s. Katrina deserves a round of applause from us for her leadership on this issue. Upon the expiry of the Approval Action Decision Period (07:59 UTC on 29 November) I will, acting on behalf of the Empowered Community Administration, transmit to the ICANN Corporate Secretary the results of the Decisional Participants, which will conclude the Bylaw amendment process. Best Regards, /Stephen

Update on Empowered Community Support for Board resolution 2019.09.08.05 (Fundamental Bylaw 18.7)
by Stephen Deerhake ＠ ASNIC Nov. 27, 2019

Nov. 27, 2019

Greetings, As I noted in earlier correspondence, we have support from the following AC/SO’s: ALAC ccNSO GAC for the change to the fundamental Bylaw change 18.7 regarding the composition of the IANA Naming Functions Review, with no formal objections received by the ECA at the time of writing this. It has been reported by ICANN org that the GNSO is expected to submit their formal approval of the Bylaw change to the Empowered Community Administration tomorrow. I have no information with respect to what the Address Supporting Organization intends to do with respect to the Bylaw change. In reviewing the correspondence of support from the three AC/SOs, I have identified easily correctable defects in two of them, and have reached out to the relevant AC/SO leadership for remedial action. As a reminder, the Approval Action Decision Period expires at 23:59 Los Angles time on 28 November (07:59 UTC on 29 November if I did my math correctly). Best Regards, /Stephen

Excellent. For those keeping score, the minimum threshold required for approval has been met (ALAC, ccNSO, and GAC). The ECA is still waiting to hear from the ASO and GNSO. FYI, the letter from the ECA to the ICANN Corporate Secretary is already written; I’m just waiting for the clock to expire (and for the ASO and GNSO to act).
