Dear Members of the ECA,

The At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) hereby submits the attached Rejection Action Petition received during the applicable Rejection Action Petition Period. 

Pursuant to Section 2.2(c) Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws, ALAC submits this Rejection Action Petition Notice to the Empowered Community Administration in respect of the ICANN Board Approval of a Standard Bylaws Amendment to Article 27- Transition Article to Address Specific Reviews, which would suspend  ICANN's obligations to conduct Specific Reviews while the community’s Review of Reviews process remains ongoing. 

In the ALAC’s view, the proposed amendment would result in an unacceptable erosion of ICANN’s accountability mechanisms and warrants consideration by the Empowered Community under the procedures set out in the ICANN Bylaws.

Sincerely, 

Jonathan Zuck, 

Chair, At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC)

Jonathan Zuck
