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.<br><br>

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.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> [ECAdmin] CORRECTION - Re: Empowered Community’s
Approval of Amendments to ICANN’s Fundamental Bylaws<br>
<br>
Dear Empowered Community Administration representatives and Decisional
Participant chairs,<br>
<br>
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 ICANN’s 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:<br>
<br>
<i>“After the Community Forum period ends at <b>21:59 UTC </b>(23.59
Johannesburg time)<b> on 29 June 2017</b>, Decisional Participants have
21 days to take a decision on the Fundamental Bylaws amendments.
Decisional Participants must act, or choose not to act, by <b>06:59 UTC
on 21 July 2017</b>. At least three Decisional participants must support
and no more than one can object for the Fundamental Bylaws amendments to
be approved.”<br>
</i> <br>
Thank you, and please accept our apologies for the initial error
regarding the applicable UTC times.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<b>Subject: </b>Empowered Community’s Approval of Amendments to
ICANN’s Fundamental Bylaws<br>
<br>
<b>Communication to EC Admin and Decisional Participants<br>
</b> <br>
Dear EC Admin Representatives:<br>
<br>
On 23 May 2017, the ICANN organization sent a
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/bm/secretarys-notice-2-redacted-23may17-en.pdf">
notice</a> to the Empowered Community that the ICANN Board has
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/board-material/resolutions-2017-05-18-en#1.c">
approved</a> amendments to ICANN’s Fundamental Bylaws to move the Board
Governance Committee’s 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.<br>
<br>
The purpose of this email is to provide you with information on this
Empowered Community process, and expected participation.<br>
<br>
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
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/deerhake-to-jeffrey-24mar17-en.pdf">
letter</a> 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.<br>
<br>
After the Community Forum period ends at 06:59 UTC on 30 June 2017, and
before the deadline for Decisional Participants’ decision at 06:59 UTC
on 21 July 2017, the Empowered Community Administration may expect to
receive notices of decisions from the Decisional Participants. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The ICANN organization has
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/ec/proposed-fundamentals-bylaws-changes-move-gov-committee">
posted a webpage</a> 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
