Thanks very much, John. Just before the NomCom’s note, staff had sent a suggestion to this list to the effect that we can use the same notice that was used by the EC Administration to notify the Secretary of the ccNSO’s and GNSO’s Board appointments. The notice will therefore read as follows: “The Empowered Community, pursuant to Section 7.8 of the ICANN Bylaws, and in accordance with a notice received from the Nominating Committee under Section 7.8(c) of the ICANN Bylaws, hereby designates Avri Doria and Sarah Deutsch to sit on Seats 7 and 8 of the ICANN Board for the term beginning at the conclusion of ICANN's Annual Meeting in 2018.” If you do not object, staff will be happy to forward this notice on behalf of the EC Administration when ICANN’s Los Angeles office reopens for business on Tuesday 5 September. Thanks and cheers Mary From: <ecadmin-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of John Curran <jcurran@arin.net> Date: Saturday, September 2, 2017 at 14:44 To: "ecadmin@icann.org" <ecadmin@icann.org> Subject: [ECAdmin] Fwd: ICANN 2017 NomCom Selected Nominees to ICANN Board of Directors Fellow EC Decisional Participant Representatives - I have reviewed the ICANN Bylaws and confirm that they require that the EC "provide the Secretary (with a copy to the Decisional Participants) with written notice of the designation of those Directors”; such being the case, I ask that appropriate communication be issued as soon as practical to this effect.
