Dear Sam, Ashley, Julf, Susan, Brian and Tim (with Sue, Zoe, Andrea and 
Brenda in copy),

I am writing to ask if the RySG, RrSG, CSG and NCSG might wish to seek 
an extension to the suggested deadline by which each of your groups were 
to nominate representatives to the upcoming IANA Functions Review Team 
(IFRT). As you may recall, my colleague Jennifer Bryce wrote 
<https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/correspondence/bryce-to-reynoso-et-al-06apr23-en.pdf> 
to the SOAC community leaders in April 2023, asking for appointees to be 
named by *30 June 2023*.

ICANN org had suggested this deadline as under the Bylaws 
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article18> 
the next IANA Naming Functions Review must commence no later than five 
years after the previous IFRT was convened. In this case, this means 
that the ICANN Board will need to convene the second IFRT by 
mid-September 2023.

We understand that the community workload is currently very heavy and 
that it may not have been possible for each of your groups to name your 
representative (or two representatives, in the case of the RySG) by the 
suggested deadline. Please let me know if an extension will be helpful, 
in which case perhaps I can assist by seeking an extension to the end of 
this month (July 2023).

Thank you for your kind attention.

Best regards,

Mary
