Dear members of the ccTLD Community,

First, apologies for cross-posting.

I am writing to you on behalf of Sean Copeland, the ccNSO Rejection Action Process Manager, to inform you that on 5 May 2024 the ICANN Board of Directors adopted ICANN's FY25–29 Operating and Financial Plan, the ICANN FY25 Operating Plan and Budget, and the IANA FY25 Operating Plan and Budget. See the announcement here. 

The resolution is available here.

On 9 May 2024, the ccNSO as one of the Decisional Participants received a notice from the ICANN Secretary pursuant to Section 22.5(a)(v) of the ICANN Bylaws, which initiated the 21 days Rejection Action Petition Period for the community. The deadline for submission of a Rejection Action Petition(s) to the ccNSO role account (ccnso-petions@icann.org) is 30 May 2024 at 23:59 UTC.

If you are interested in submitting a Rejection Action Petition with respect to the adopted Operating Plan and Budget, please consult Section 2 of Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws for the requirements, which must be met. 

Please be advised that per Annex D Section 2.2(a)(i)(A) the Rejection Action Petition must be:

“…based on one or more significant issues that were specifically raised in the applicable public comment period(s) relating to perceived inconsistencies with the Mission, purpose and role set forth in ICANN's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the global public interest, the needs of ICANN's stakeholders, financial stability, or other matter of concern to the community.”

Please see also our internal ccNSO Guideline: ccNSO Procedure for the Exercise of the Empowered Community's rights to Reject Specific Actions. According to the Guideline, the ccNSO will consider a Rejection Action Petition from the following constituents:

• ccTLD managers,
• Individual(s) directly related to a ccTLD manager,
• ccNSO working groups or committees mandated to submit such a pe//on,
• Regional ccTLD organisations (as defined in sec/on 10.5 of the ICANN Bylaws),
• the ccNSO Council.

All relevant information will be published at: https://community.icann.org/display/ccnsowkspc/Rejection+actions

Kind Regards,

On behalf of Sean Copeland, ccNSO Rejection Action Process Manager,
