Notice of Expiration of Rejection Action Petition Period for Board Approval of FY21 IANA Budget
by Ozan Sahin Feb. 21, 2020

Feb. 21, 2020

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 Period pertaining to the FY21 IANA Budget that was approved by the ICANN Board has expired. 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. As such, under Annex D, Section 2.2(c)(ii), the Rejection Process for FY21 IANA Budget is thus automatically terminated. The next step is for the Empowered Community Administration to deliver to the ICANN Secretary a notice certifying that the Rejection Process has been terminated with respect to this particular Rejection Action. ICANN will then post the Rejection Process Termination Notice on the ICANN website. Please let staff know if the Empowered Community Administration wishes for staff to assist you with the requisite Rejection Process Termination Notice. Best regards, Ozan Sahin (on behalf of the staff supporting Empowered Community Administration)
