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 Standard Bylaws Amendments in Articles 8, 12, and 27 of the ICANN Bylaws regarding
(1) the composition and terms of the NomCom – Article 8, with a Transition Article at Article 27;
(2) the implementation of the NomCom Standing Committee – Article 8; and
(3) a change in how the RSSAC is selected – Article 12
that were approved by the ICANN Board expired at 06:59 UTC on 7 October 2023.
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 Process for the
Standard Bylaws Amendments mentioned above are 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.
As customary, support staff prepared Rejection Process Termination Notice for your review (see attached).
Staff will be happy to forward the notice on your behalf unless you have comments or concerns.
Please let us know.
Best regards,
Ozan Sahin (on behalf of the staff supporting Empowered Community Administration)
