Dear Christian, Thank you for this. Please bear in mind that English is not my native tongue; I actually speak a very popular language in my country (Spanish), which is also very popular in Latin America. Now, having said that, I apologize beforehand, as the way I understood the phrase: "... Please respond to this list by 23:59 UTC Friday, 27 February, if you have any objections, concerns, or changes ", was that I would need to respond ONLY if I (or the GAC, that is) had any objections. That not being the case, I didn't think it was necessary to bother you. In any case, my apologies again if I misunderstood your earlier email. I hope to see everybody face to face in Mumbai soon; safe travels everyone. Best wishes, Nico El jue, 26 feb 2026 a las 14:18, Christian Wheeler via ECAdmin (< ecadmin@icann.org>) escribió:

Dear Empowered Community Administration representatives,
Under the ICANN Bylaws, Section 7.8(d), "At least six months before the date specified for the commencement of the term as specified in Section 7.8(a)(iv) through Section 7.8(a)(vi) above, any Supporting Organization or the At-Large Community entitled to nominate a Director for a Seat with a term beginning that year shall give the EC Administration (with a copy to the Secretary and the Decisional Participants) written notice of its nomination of Directors for seats with terms beginning at the conclusion of the annual meeting, and the EC Administration shall promptly provide the Secretary (with a copy to the Decisional Participants) with written notice of the designation of those Directors. All such notices shall be posted promptly to the Website."
Accordingly, ECA support staff have prepared the attached draft Designation Notice for your review and consideration. Please respond to this list by 23:59 UTC Friday, 27 February, if you have any objections, concerns, or changes; otherwise, support staff will be happy to forward the notice to the Secretary on your behalf.
My sincere apologies for the delay of this request, which resulted from a typo in the previous email address. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
