Draft Resolution Background On 7 August 2024, ICANN Board opened a Public Comment proceeding on the “Proposed Fundamental Bylaws Amendments Related to the Grant Program.” This proceeding closed on 16 September 2024: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-fundamental-byl… The ICANN Board reviewed these Fundamental Bylaws amendments during its meeting on 24 October 2024. As a result of its review and discussion, the Board indicated that “...it intends to take an action to approve the amendment of the Fundamental Bylaws at Article 4, Section 4.2(d) and Section 4.3(c), as posted for public comment when it has sufficient attendance to achieve the required voting threshold for a Fundamental Bylaws amendment.” https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…. The ICANN Board approved Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to Article 4, Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the ICANN Bylaws. The resolution approving the Fundamental Bylaws Amendments will be posted on 11 November 2024 at <https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings> https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings and the text of the Fundamental Bylaws Amendments is available at <https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/governance/uppdates-to-article-4-icann-g…> https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/governance/uppdates-to-article-4-icann-g… 2024-en.pdf<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/governance/uppdates-to-article-4-icann-g…> The Empowered Community hosted an Approval Action Community Forum on Thursday, 14 November 2024, during which no objections were raised with respect to the proposed Bylaw amendments. In addition a ccNSO members consultation was held to seek views from the community on the proposed Bylaw amendments. No objections were received with regard to the specific Bylaws amendments themselves, however one person suggested to vote against it as leverage. The Fundamental Bylaws Amendments will only become effective if approved by the Empowered Community using the process set forth at Section 25.2(f) and Annex D, Article 1 of the ICANN Bylaws. 1. The proposed Bylaw amendments are relevant for the ccNSO for the following reasons: The proposed Bylaw change allows the Grant Program to proceed in a manner as proposed by the Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group, which recommendations were supported by the ccNSO. 2. No objections were raised at the community forum or during the community consultation with respect to the proposed Bylaw changes themselves. 3. The proposed Bylaw change is a change of a Fundamental Bylaw, and the ccNSO Council has to decide whether to : (a) support the proposal, (b) object to the proposal, or (c) have no opinion on the proposal or abstain. If the ccNSO would not vote it will be considered an abstention Decision Taking into account that the proposed changes to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 4.1 18 and 19 of the ICANN Bylaws, which relate to the Reconsideration process and Independent Review Process for Covered Actions allows the Grant Program to proceed in a manner as proposed by the Auction Proceeds Cross-Community Working Group, which recommendations were supported by the ccNSO. Also taking into account no objections to the Bylaw amendments themselves or other feed-back was received form the ccTLD community, and finally taking into account the outcome of the Community Forum on 14 November 2024 on aforementioned Bylaw changes, the ccNSO Council - as mandated through Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws and through its own rules and procedures (https://ccnso.icann.org/about/guideline-approval-actions-procedure-17oct19-…) - supports the proposed changes to Sections 4.2 and 4.3. The Secretariat is requested to publish this resolution upon adoption and the chair of the ccNSO Council is requested to inform the ECA accordingly as soon as possible after adoption of this resolution. 1.
