Although I would support such a change (but not demand it, now that we have done this once, it will not be such a challenge again - I know, famous last words), I would sugest thatwe keep track of changes that are needed as we go through the process and then, if they are of sufficient merit, do an update at some future date.

Greetings all,
I would like to propose that the ICANN Board submit changes to Annex D that clean this time zone craziness up to set it to UTC and be done with it. When I first started reading Annex D last fall, the time zone craziness almost made my head explode. This is going to vex us all going forward. The internet runs on UTC. So should ICANN. I have no doubt we could elicit support from at least 3 (likely all 5) DC's to approve this change. This is a serious proposal. Alan did us all a favor by calling out the absurdity of the current language in Annex D.

From: ecadmin-bounces@icann.org [mailto:ecadmin-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Mary Wong Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2017 6:29 PM To: ecadmin@icann.org Cc: Katrina Sataki <katrina@nic.lv>; David Olive <david.olive@icann.org> Subject: [ECAdmin] CORRECTION - Re: Empowered Communityâs Approval of Amendments to ICANNâs Fundamental Bylaws
Dear Empowered Community Administration representatives and Decisional Participant chairs,
Alan Greenberg correctly pointed out that per the Bylaws, if the Community Forum is held during the next scheduled ICANN public meeting and that public meeting is held after 11:59pm (as calculated by local time at the location of ICANNâs principal office) on the 30th day after the Approval Action Board Notification Date, the Community Forum Period shall expire at 11:59pm, local time. As such paragraph four below should be read as:
âAfter the Community Forum period ends at 21:59 UTC (23.59 Johannesburg time) on 29 June 2017, Decisional Participants have 21 days to take a decision on the Fundamental Bylaws amendments. Decisional Participants must act, or choose not to act, by 06:59 UTC on 21 July 2017. At least three Decisional participants must support and no more than one can object for the Fundamental Bylaws amendments to be approved.â
Thank you, and please accept our apologies for the initial error regarding the applicable UTC times.
Best regards,
Mary

Communication to EC Admin and Decisional Participants
Dear EC Admin Representatives:
On 23 May 2017, the ICANN organization sent a <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/bm/secretarys-notice-2-redacted-23may17-en.pdf>notice to the Empowered Community that the ICANN Board has <https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-05-18-en#1.c>approved amendments to ICANNâs Fundamental Bylaws to move the Board Governance Committeeâs reconsideration responsibilities to another Board Committee. This notice triggered a series of events that have been set in place for the Empowered Community to consider and approve the amendments before they can go into effect.
The purpose of this email is to provide you with information on this Empowered Community process, and expected participation.
Per the Bylaws a Community Forum must be convened prior to the end of ICANN59 in Johannesburg (by 29 June 2017) for the Decisional Participants and broader community to discuss the amendments. As directed in the 24 May 2017 <https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/deerhake-to-jeffrey-24mar17-en.pdf>letter from the Empowered Community, the Community Forum has tentatively been scheduled for 27 June 2017 at 06:00 UTC and remote participation facilities will be available for those not present in Johannesburg. The Empowered Community Administration shall moderate the Community Forum, including discussion of statements or inputs received from any ICANN SO/AC or ICANN.
After the Community Forum period ends at 06:59 UTC on 30 June 2017, and before the deadline for Decisional Participantsâ decision at 06:59 UTC on 21 July 2017, the Empowered Community Administration may expect to receive notices of decisions from the Decisional Participants.
By 06:59 UTC on 22 July 2017, the Empowered Community Administration must provide notice to the ICANN Secretary on the decisions of the Decisional Participants. At least three Decisional Participants must support and no more than one can object for the Fundamental Bylaws amendments to be approved.
The ICANN organization has <https://www.icann.org/en/ec/proposed-fundamentals-bylaws-changes-move-gov-committee>posted a webpage with additional details on the status of this first Empowered Community process. It will also have a space for posting notices to and from the Empowered Community Administration.
If there is any additional information that we can provide you about your participation in this important Empowered Community process, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Best regards,
David
