Brett, I'm a bit confused by your reply. On 11/01/2016 17:23, Schaefer, Brett wrote:
I’ve been puzzled why DIDP appeals would be part of the IRP. I support including DIDP in an appeals process, but we are very much against restricting it to the IRP engagement,
I don't think anyone was saying that it would be restricted to the IRP: if DIDP appeals has its own process, so be it. The question is whether DID decisions should be immunised from challenge under the IRP.
restricting it to the IRP engagement, escalation, and enforcement staircase because that process is dependent on the Empowered Community. DIDP appeals need to be accessible to everyone, not just the SOACs, and appeals should not require SOAC approval at any threshold.
The IRP is open to every "materially affected party". The engagement, escalation and enforcement staircase only applies where the IRP complainant is the Empowered Community, and describes the Empowered Community's process for deciding whether to bring such a case. Where the IRP complainant is some other entity, that entity decides for itself whether to bring an IRP case.
What about moving DIDP appeals to the request for reconsideration process? Is there some reason that I am not seeing?
Requests for Reconsideration are an advisory process. -- Malcolm Hutty | tel: +44 20 7645 3523 Head of Public Affairs | Read the LINX Public Affairs blog London Internet Exchange | http://publicaffairs.linx.net/ London Internet Exchange Ltd Monument Place, 24 Monument Street, London EC3R 8AJ Company Registered in England No. 3137929 Trinity Court, Trinity Street, Peterborough PE1 1DA
