REMINDER: Empowered Community Approval Action on Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to Article 4 Accountability and Review, 4.2 Reconsideration
by Julie Hedlund Dec. 4, 2024

Dec. 4, 2024

--- This is a reminder --- Dear Councilors, As you may know, at ICANN81 ICANN Org held an Empowered Community Approval Action<https://www.icann.org/en/ec/fundamental-bylaws-amendment-to-accountability-…> on Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to Article 4 Accountability and Review, 4.2 Reconsideration.<https://www.icann.org/en/ec/fundamental-bylaws-amendment-to-accountability-…> The Fundamental Bylaws Amendments will only become effective if approved by the Empowered Community using the process set forth at Section 25.2(f)<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article25> and Annex D<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD>, Article 1 of the ICANN Bylaws. The convening of the Approval Action Community Forum is part of this process. Following the Approval Action Community Forum, the GNSO Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies will be asked to provide feedback, opinions or comments on their support for, objection to, or abstention from the Approval Action under consideration. The GNSO Council must decide and inform the EC Administration of its decision within twenty-one (21) days after the expiration of the Community Forum whether to support, object to, or abstain from the Approval Action by affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority. A discussion and vote on the Approval Action is scheduled for the next GNSO Council meeting on 19 December. If more time is needed a placeholder for an email vote will be scheduled for Monday, 23 December. In any case, we will need to hold the vote in December because the Empowered Community decision is due before the January GNSO Council meeting. Please provide feedback, if any, to the GNSO Council list on your group’s opinions or comments on your support for, objection to, or abstention from the Approval Action under consideration at your earliest convenience, but not later than Wednesday, 18 December. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.
