Dear Empowered Community Administration representatives, Under the ICANN Bylaws, delivery of the Secretary’s Notice on 08 May: (1) requires Decisional Participants to “promptly inform their constituents” of the delivery of such notice; and (2) triggers an Approval Action Community Forum, regarding the Fundamental Bylaws Amendments relating to the Customer Standing Committee and IANA Naming Function Review, to be convened and concluded during the period beginning upon the Approval Action Board Notification Date (11 May 2026) and ending at 11:59 pm (PDT) on the 30th day after the Approval Action Board Notification Date (09 June 2026); or during the next scheduled ICANN public meeting (ICANN86). The Approval Action Community Forum is convened at the direction of the EC Administration. Please let support staff know whether the EC Administration would like to convene an Approval Action Community Forum on the Fundamental Bylaws Amendments mentioned above. If this is the case, please also indicate whether the Empowered Community Administration prefers to have this Approval Action Community Forum in the form of a teleconference to be held before 09 June 2026, or as an in-person meeting during ICANN86. If an in-person meeting is requested, please inform support staff by Friday, 22 May 2026, to allow time to finalize the placeholder session tentatively scheduled for Thursday, 11 June on the ICANN86 schedule. Please refer to Article 1.2, Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws for additional details on Approval Process: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD We will be happy to assist with any questions you may have about the Approval Process.
