Dear Councilors,

As you may know, at ICANN81 ICANN Org held an Empowered Community Approval
Action Community Forum
<https://www.icann.org/en/ec/fundamental-bylaws-amendment-to-accountability-mechanisms>
on Fundamental Bylaws Amendments to Article 4 Accountability and Review,
4.2 Reconsideration.
<https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/governance/uppdates-to-article-4-icann-grant-program-07-08-2024-en.pdf>

The Fundamental Bylaws Amendments will only become effective if approved by
the Empowered Community using the process set forth at Section 25.2(f)
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article25>
and Annex
D <https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD>,
Article 1 of the ICANN Bylaws. The convening of the Approval Action
Community Forum is part of this process.

Following the Approval Action Community Forum, the GNSO Stakeholder Groups
and Constituencies will be asked to provide feedback, opinions or comments
on their support for, objection to, or abstention from the Approval Action
under consideration. The GNSO Council must decide and inform the EC
Administration of its decision within twenty-one (21) days after the
expiration of the Community Forum whether to support, object to, or abstain
from the Approval Action by affirmative vote of a GNSO Supermajority.

A discussion and vote on the Approval Action  is scheduled for the next
GNSO Council meeting on 19 December. If more time is needed a placeholder
for an email vote will be scheduled for Monday, 23 December.  In any case,
we will need to hold the vote in December because the Empowered Community
decision is due before the January GNSO Council meeting.

Please provide feedback, if any, to the GNSO Council list on your group’s
opinions or comments on your support for, objection to, or abstention from
the Approval Action under consideration at your earliest convenience, but
not later than Wednesday, 18 December.

We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

Kind regards,


Tomslin Samme-Nlar, GNSO Vice-Chair & GNSO Empowered Community
Administration Representative

on behalf of the GNSO Council Leadership Team
