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.

Dear Empowered Community Administration,

As required under Section 7.2 of the ICANN Bylaws, please accept this note as formal notification that the At-Large Advisory Committee (ALAC) has nominated Justine Chew to Seat 15 on the ICANN Board of Directors.

On behalf of the ALAC, I ask that the Empowered Community confirm its Designation of Justine Chew to the Board. Justine’s term is scheduled to begin at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting in October 2026.

Regards,

Jonathan Zuck
