Why each option
In ITIL Change Management, the Emergency Change Advisory Board (ECAB) is the designated group that evaluates and authorizes changes too urgent to wait for the standard CAB review process.
The Emergency CAB (ECAB) is the ITIL v3-defined body responsible for authorizing emergency changes that must be implemented faster than the normal change management process allows. The ECAB is a subset of the full CAB, typically comprising senior decision-makers and key technical staff who can convene quickly to evaluate and approve or reject high-priority emergency changes.
Urgent Change Authority (UCA) is not a recognized term in ITIL Change Management; no such body is defined in the ITIL framework.
Urgent Change Board (UCB) is not a standard ITIL term; ITIL does not define a body with this name for emergency change authorization.
CAB/EC (CAB Emergency Committee) was the ITIL v2 term for this group; ITIL v3 replaced this terminology with ECAB, making CAB/EC an outdated term rather than the current correct one.
