Hi all,
The attached notice, dated 2 July 2019, concerns the GNSO’s obligations as a decisional participant in the Empowered Community vis-à-vis approval of the FY21-25 Strategic Plan. This notice triggered the bylaw-mandated
21-day period for decisional participants to consider initiating a Rejection Action Process (RAP).
Here’s the relevant language from the letter:
“This Board Notice triggers the Empowered Community Rejection Action Process as set out at
Annex D, Section 2 of the ICANN Bylaws. The timeline for the Empowered Community’s
exercise of this Rejection Action Process will be tracked, including the associated deadlines, at
https://www.icann.org/ec. The first deadline is a 21-day period for Decisional Participants to
each consider if it will raise a petition.”
As such, we have until 24 July 2019 to take action if needed.
(NOTE: This original email was sent by ICANN the day I went on vacation and I only got to it upon my return. Procedurally, we are working to address this situation to avoid single-threaded communications on
such important matters, and/or to ensure Staff have a standing action to forward such communications to the full Council list. I apologize for the delay in forwarding this.)
We can discuss further on the Council call this week.
Best,
Keith
