Empowered Community Approval Action Community Forum
by Ozan Sahin Nov. 8, 2024

Nov. 8, 2024

Dear Empowered Community Administration representatives, On 7 August 2024, ICANN Board opened a Public Comment proceeding on the “Proposed Fundamental Bylaws Amendments Related to the Grant Program.” This proceeding closed on 16 September 2024: https://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/proceeding/proposed-fundamental-byl… The ICANN Board reviewed these Fundamental Bylaws amendments during its meeting on 24 October 2024. As a result of its review and discussion, the Board indicated that “...it intends to take an action to approve the amendment of the Fundamental Bylaws at Article 4, Section 4.2(d) and Section 4.3(c), as posted for public comment when it has sufficient attendance to achieve the required voting threshold for a Fundamental Bylaws amendment.” https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/approved-r…. The Board intends to complete its action on the Fundamental Bylaws amendments no later than 10 November 2024, and the ICANN Secretary will deliver written notice to Empowered Community Administration as required by the ICANN Bylaws. Delivery of the Secretary’s Notice will (1) require Decisional Participants to “promptly inform their constituents” of the delivery of such notice; and (2) trigger an Approval Action Community Forum, relating to the Grant Program, to be convened and concluded during the period beginning upon the Approval Action Board Notification Date and ending at 23:59 (Pacific time) on the 30th day after the Approval Action Board Notification Date; or during the next scheduled ICANN public meeting. Please refer to Article 1.2, Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws for additional details on the Empowered Community Approval Process https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD and note that an Approval Action Community Forum is convened at the direction of the EC Administration. In anticipation of a potential Approval Action Community Forum on this topic at ICANN81, support staff for the Empowered Community Administration has worked with the ICANN81 planning team to add a placeholder to the ICANN81 schedule, for a Community Forum to be held on Thursday, 14 November 2024 at 06:00-07:00 UTC (09:00-10:00 Istanbul time). We are providing you with an update on this Fundamental Bylaws amendment process so that you can inform your communities accordingly. Please let us know whether the Empowered Community Administration prefers to hold this Approval Action Community Forum in the form of a teleconference to be held within 30 days from the receipt of Approval Action Board Notice, or as an in-person meeting during ICANN81 on 14 November 2024. It is also possible to convene a Community Forum in person during ICANN81 and have a further Community Forum in the form of a teleconference within the Approval Action Community Forum, if the Empowered Community wishes to do so. We will be happy to assist with any questions you may have about the process. Best regards, Ozan Sahin (on behalf of the staff supporting Empowered Community Administration)

Secretary's Notice of Resignation of Board Member Katrina Sataki
by John Jeffrey Aug. 25, 2024

Aug. 25, 2024

Dear Members of Empowered Community Administration and Alejandra Reynoso, Chair of the ccNSO Council, As you may be aware, today I was notified that Katrina Sataki resigned Seat 12 on the ICANN Board, effective immediately. https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings#m8-2024 I’m reaching out to ask the ccNSO and the Empowered Community to initiate a process to nominate (ccNSO) and then designate (Empowered Community) a person to fill the vacancy created by her departure. The current term for Seat 12 concludes at ICANN’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) this year at ICANN81. In addition, the Empowered Community, on 19 January 2024, notified ICANN of the designation of Ms. Sataki to serve a subsequent term (AGM 2024 – AGM 2027). With her resignation from the ICANN Board, it is my understanding that Ms. Sataki shall not be seated to that new term this November. I’m requesting the ccNSO and Empowered Community to also initiate your requisite processes to identify a new person to serve this full term starting in November 2024. I recognize that these may not need to be separate processes to make nominations for the two different terms. Article 7, Section 7.12(a) of the ICANN Bylaws guides the filling of vacancies in this situation: Section 7.12. VACANCIES A vacancy or vacancies in the Board shall be deemed to exist in the case of the death, resignation, or removal of any Director or Interim Director (as defined in Section 7.12(b)) . . . Vacancies occurring in Seats 1 through 15 shall be filled by the EC after nomination as provided in Section 7.2 and Articles 8 through 12. . . . A Director designated by the EC to fill a vacancy on the Board shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office and until a successor has been designated and qualified.” I appreciate that making a selection to the ICANN Board is an important matter that is carefully considered by the nominating community. If there is any support the ICANN team can provide as the ccNSO initiates this unexpected process, please let us know. Best regards, John Jeffrey ICANN General Counsel and Secretary

Notice of Expiration of Rejection Action Periods for Board Approval of (1) IANA FY25 Operating Plan and Budget, (2) ICANN FY25 Operating Plan and Budget and (3) ICANN FY25-29 Operating and Financial Plan
by Ozan Sahin June 10, 2024

June 10, 2024

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) IANA FY25 Operating Plan and Budget, (2) ICANN FY25 Operating Plan and Budget and (3) ICANN FY25-29 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) IANA FY25 Operating Plan and Budget, (2) ICANN FY25 Operating Plan and Budget and (3) ICANN FY25-29 Operating and Financial Plan are thus automatically terminated. The next step is for the Empowered Community Administration to deliver to the ICANN Secretary three 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.
