Dear members of the ccTLD Community,

First, apologies for cross-posting.

I am writing to inform you that on 3 May 2026 the ICANN Board of
Directors approved the FY27-31 Operating and Financial Plan.
The resolution approving the ICANN FY27-31 Operating and Financial Plan
is available at

The ICANN FY27-31 Operating and Financial Plan is available at pages

On 11 May 2026, the ccNSO, as one of the Decisional Participants,
received a notice from the ICANN Secretary pursuant to Section
22.5(a)(v) of the ICANN Bylaws [3], initiating the 21-day Rejection
Action Petition Period for the community. The deadline for submission of
a Rejection Action Petition(s) to the ccNSO role account
(ccnso-petitions at icann.org) is 21 May 2026 11:59 PM UTC.
If you are interested in submitting a Rejection Action Petition with
respect to the adopted FY27-31 Operating and Financial Plan, please
consult Section 2 of Annex D for the requirements that must be met
(https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD
[4]).

Please be advised that per Annex D Section 2.2(a)(i)(A) the Rejection
Action Petition must be:

“…based on one or more significant issues that were specifically
raised in the applicable public comment period(s) relating to perceived
inconsistencies with the Mission, purpose and role set forth in ICANN's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, the global public interest, the
needs of ICANN's stakeholders, financial stability, or other matter of
concern to the community.”

Please see also our internal Guideline: ccNSO Procedure for the Exercise
of the Empowered Community's rights to Reject Specified Actions
(https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/resources/guideline-rejection-actions-procedure-24may18-en.pdf

According to the Guideline, the ccNSO will consider a Rejection Action
Petition from the following constituents:
