<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Am I correct in assuming on behalf of the ECA and the Empowered Community SO/ACs that pursuant to the language in Annex D, Article 2.2(a) of the Bylaws, the 21 day Rejection Action Board notification date
is 15 May 2020, and thus terminates 21 days later at 23:59 PDT on 5 June 2020 at 23:59 PDT based on the correspondence from the ICANN Corporate Secretary that you have forwarded to the ECA and SO/AC leadership within the hour?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Recognizing the global reach of ICANN, I further bring to your attention that the delivery of the Corporate Secretary’s formal correspondence in this matter did not reach SO/AC leadership based in either Europe
or Asia until 15 May 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
