Dear all,
After the announcement of this year’s Community Projects Fund recipients,
some challenges emerged with the RIPE Atlas distributed network telescope
project which would have prevented the project from achieving the goals
outlined in the project plan.
After careful consideration, the Selection Committee made the difficult
decision to withdraw funding for the project. While we understand this is
really disappointing for the recipients, we sincerely hope they will
continue initiatives that bring value to our community and the Internet.
The Selection Committee has now chosen another project to support from our
pool of finalists: OpenPenny - An open-source tool to identify non-spoofed
traffic. You can read about the project on the Community Projects Fund 2024

Under the ICANN Bylaws, delivery of the Secretary’s Notices triggers
an Approval Action Community Forum to be convened and concluded during
the period beginning upon the Approval Action Board Notification Date
(11 November 2024) and ending at 11:59 pm (PDT) on the 30th day after
the Approval Action Board Notification Date (11 December 2024); or
during the next scheduled ICANN public meeting (ICANN81). Please refer

Approval Process
(https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#annexD)

Following the expiration of the Approval Action Community Forum Period
(11 December 2024), the 21-day Approval Action Decision Period will
begin, expiring at 23:59 PST on Wednesday, 1 January 2025. Because
this Decision Period is scheduled to conclude over a widely-observed
holiday period, if the Empowered Community is interested in an
extension of the expiration until Wednesday, 8 January 2025, ICANN
will confirm in writing its agreement to such an extension
Any comments on this notification should be sent to the ASO
Secretariat (secretariat(a)aso.icann.org) before the deadline.
