<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Greg, Nico, Jonathan and German<br><br>Yesterday, during its monthly meeting, the ccNSO Council started the discussion whether or not the Empowered Community Administration (ECA) should request a community forum. During the call the view of our Approval Process Manager and former member of the ECA (Stephen Deerhake) was shared with the council, which I'm sharing with you as well:</div><div><br>“As you have probably gathered, I am a big advocate of having an Approval Action Community Forum take place at the “next available” ICANN meeting should the Board take an action that requires Empowered Community approval. If for no other reason, it’s a community-wide show of respect for the Multi-stakeholder model, the Bylaws, and what we achieved as a Community in successfully executing the Transition from the USG. All need to be taken seriously and shown due respect or else erosion will begin to occur.<br><br>On behalf of the ECA, I managed the first ever Approval Action Community Forum where Chris [Disspain, board member at the time] came and led the dance with the Community on behalf of the Board. It was completely non-controversial, as I suspect these changes are as well, although I do confess, I have not studied them in depth. Although held “out of band” early in the morning, that first forum had really solid attendance, which was heartening.”<br><br>It looks like the ccNSO council will support this view and would like to have a Community Forum at ICANN 78, but this will still need to be confirmed by next Tuesday.<br><br>What are your thoughts on this?<br><br>Additionally, I would like to mention that receiving notifications from the ICANN Secretary on a Saturday at 3:00am is not very helpful. It takes away two days from us from a process step that is already limited in time (30 days to decide and if necessary organize a virtual community forum) and another two days around the 30th day if we want a virtual Community Forum, since 15 October (final day of community forum period) is a Sunday.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Alejandra<br><br><b>Background / Timelines</b><br>(see Annex D, section 1.3 c ( <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD</a>)<br><br>Under the ICANN Bylaws, delivery of the Secretary’s Notices on 15 September:<br>(1) requires Decisional Participants to “promptly inform their constituents” of the delivery of such notices; and<br>(2) triggers an Approval Action Community Forum Period, to convene a Community Forum, which ends on the 30th day after the Approval Action Board Notification Date (15 October 2023).<br></div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#8e7cc3">*******************************************<br>Work like you don't need the money.<br>Love like you've never been hurt.<br>Dance like nobody's watching.<br>Sing like nobody's listening.<br>And live like it's Heaven on Earth.<br>*******************************************</font></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 20, 2023 at 7:36 PM Ozan Sahin via ECAdmin <<a href="mailto:ecadmin@icann.org" target="_blank">ecadmin@icann.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>
