Notice of Expiration of Rejection Action Periods for Board Approval of (1) FY24 Operating Plan and Budget and (2) FY24-28 Five Year Operating and Financial Plan
by Ozan Sahin June 1, 2023

June 1, 2023

Dear Empowered Community Administration representatives, I am writing to confirm that, in accordance with the timelines and procedures set out in Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws, the 21-day Rejection Action Petition Periods pertaining to the (1) FY24 Operating Plan and Budget and (2) FY24-28 Five Year Operating and Financial Plan that were approved by the ICANN Board expired at 06:59 UTC. No Rejection Action Petition Notices (as defined in Annex D, Section 2.2(c)(i)) were received by the Empowered Community Administration within the prescribed timeframe. Therefore, under Annex D, Section 2.2(c)(ii), the Rejection Processes for the (1) FY24 Operating Plan and Budget and (2) FY24-28 Five Year Operating and Financial Plan are thus automatically terminated. The next step is for the Empowered Community Administration to deliver to the ICANN Secretary two notices certifying that the Rejection Processes have been terminated with respect to these particular Rejection Actions. ICANN will then post the Rejection Process Termination Notices on the ICANN website. As customary, support staff prepared Rejection Process Termination Notices for your review (see attached). We note that the Bylaws (Annex D) require that the Empowered Community Administration’s notices be delivered within twenty-four (24) hours of the expiration of the Rejection Action Petition Period. As such, staff will be happy to forward the notices on your behalf unless you have comments or concerns.

These 21-day periods for (1) FY24 Operating Plan and Budget and (2) FY24-28 Five Year Operating and Financial Plan both commenced on 8 May 2023 and will end at 23:59 PDT on 29 May 2023, or 06:59 UTC on 30 May 2023.
