Greetings JJ.

 

I note that ICANN has posted an announcement of the start of the Rejection
Action Petition Periods in response to the Board's actions at their workshop
on Friday.  The announcement I am referencing may be found at
https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2017-06-24-en.

 

Please note that there is an important error in the announcement that needs
correcting.  About 5 paragraphs into the announcements, ICANN States:

 

"Each of these documents will come into effect only after giving the
Empowered Community time to consider whether it will raise a petition
rejecting the budgets and/or operating plans. Decisional Participants of the
Empowered Community have 28 days to bring forth a petition to reject any of
these documents."

 

This is incorrect.  Section 2.2(b) of Annex D states:

 

(b) During the period beginning on the Rejection Action Board Notification
Date and ending at 11:59 p.m. (as calculated by local time at the location
of ICANN's principal office) on the date that is the 21st day after the
Rejection Action Board Notification Date (as it relates to a particular
Rejection Action, the "Rejection Action Petition Period"), subject to the
procedures and requirements developed by the applicable Decisional
Participant, an individual may submit a petition to a Decisional
Participant, seeking to reject the Rejection Action and initiate the
Rejection Process (a "Rejection Action Petition")."

 

Thus the Rejection Action Petition Period is 21 days rather than 28 days,
and this correction needs to be made to the announcement and brought to the
Community's attention ASAP.


Thank you.
