<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear Empowered Community Administration members,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The delivery of notice of the Board’s approval of the FY19 Operating Plan and Budget (dated 1 June 2018) initiated the 21-day Rejection Action Petition Period under the ICANN Bylaws. For this action and purpose,
this <b>Rejection Action Petition Period will end at</b> <b>11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 22 June 2018 (or 06.59 UTC on 23 June 2018</b>). Should a rejection petition be submitted to a Decisional Participant within the petition period
<u>and</u> should that Decisional Participant accept that petition (in accordance with its own internal rules and processes), this will trigger a further 7-day Rejection Action Petition Support Period (ending at 11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 29 June 2018 (or
06.59 UTC on 30 June 2018), during which time that Decisional Participant will need to seek the support of at least one other Decisional Participant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If support for the petition is obtained from at least one other Decisional Participant and the requisite notice provided to the Empowered Community Administration (among others), the Bylaws provide that “ICANN
shall, <u>at the direction of the EC Administration</u>, convene a forum at which the Decisional Participants and interested parties may discuss the Rejection Action Supported Petition”. This Community Forum must be conducted within a 21-day period beginning
upon the expiration of the Rejection Action Petition Support Period – for present purposes, and assuming all of the above steps have been fulfilled, the requisite
<b>Community Forum period will commence at 11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 29 June 2018 (06.59 UTC on 30 June 2018) and end at 11.59 p.m. US Pacific time on 20 July 2018 (06.59 UTC, 21 July 2018).</b> Please note that Section 2.3(c) of Annex D of the Bylaws states
that, “notwithstanding any statement in the Rejection Action Supported Petition, a Rejection Action Community Forum to discuss a Rejection Action Supported Petition relating to an ICANN Budget or IANA Budget may only be held at a scheduled ICANN public meeting
if such Rejection Action Community Forum occurs during the Rejection Action Community Forum Period, without any extension of such Rejection Action Community Forum Period” - this means that, for the FY19 Operating Plan and Budget, any Community Forum that may
need be scheduled will <u>not</u> take place face-to-face or at an ICANN meeting but will, instead, be
<u>conducted via remote participation methods such as teleconference, web-based meeting room and/or such other form of remote participation as the EC Administration selects</u>” (Section 2.3(d), Annex D).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please see Annex D of the Bylaws for the full text describing all the various criteria and steps applicable to a Rejection Action process (<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD</a>),
including some specific criteria applicable to petitions to reject an ICANN budget. Please also do not hesitate to let me know if you or any of your community groups and members have questions about the process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
