was approved by the Board has expired. No Rejection Action Petition Notices (as defined in Annex D, Section 2.2(c)(i)) were received by the Empowered Community Administration within the prescribed timeframe.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As such, under Annex D, Section 2.2(c)(ii), the Rejection Process for the Five-Year Strategic Plan for FY21-25 is thus automatically terminated. The next step is for the Empowered Community Administration
to, within twenty-four (24) hours of the expiration of the Rejection Action Petition Period, deliver to the ICANN Secretary a notice certifying that the Rejection Process has been terminated with respect to this particular Rejection Action. ICANN will then
be obliged to promptly post the Rejection Process Termination Notice on the ICANN website.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

during which an individual may submit a petition to any Decisional Participant, seeking to reject the Board action.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This 21-day period commenced on 2 July 2019 and will end at 23:59 PDT on 23 July 2019, or 06.59 UTC on 24 July 2019. Please refer to Article 2, Annex D of the ICANN Bylaws for additional details on the Rejection Process, including all pertinent
deadlines and requirements for Rejection Action Petitions: <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_pages_governance_bylaws-2Den_-23annexD&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=SJoAZJPf4sll7c5HM-90jeUSDBNV8i1H6DgoihUn1_U&m=qY2WkRGDC1AQAzsS5hH8O2TXI4D2gFWVAaBCJ3JDy84&s=6hq7a-sDpuT5kJvKLBGDpAom0sHIVZGUrtLBL3UUfkE&e=">
