IRP and RFR: Funding, costs, accessibility, independence Bruce Tonkin: @Becky - the Board was not specifically against the cost model proposed by the CCWG. Our point was that for community disputes we would go beyond funding the cost of the panel - but also help with the costs of any external counsel that the community might need., We were a 1B on this topic not a 2. Scope - Reconciliation of expert panel conclusions; "fundamentally irrational" decision; Community/single member accountability Standard - abuse of discretion vs. de novo Standing: Individual SOs/ACs/constituencies without community support; "community" IRPs where minority does not support and "Permissive" approach vs. abuse prevention Abuse: Require participation in PDP for standing (also arises in RFR context); fee shifting for frivolous actions; other abuse mitigation? Prompt action to establish CCWG sub-group to work on details. BB - The next step for IRP is for the community to roll up its sleeves to work out the details for implementation. GS - Unclear if this is meant to replace the current IRP or be in parallel? BB- Reform/replace current process. BB - MEM and IRP - this is an area for discussion if two separate processes are necessary. CD - Board thought that a community IRP was different because the expertise required might be different and that ICANN would fund it completely vs the commercial IRP. AG - Is MEM for standard bylaws also. BB - This was not considered in the ICANN proposal. It is clear to the CCWG that this should be included (standard Bylaws). CD - There are 3 processes - standard commercial IRP, standard Bylaws issues and Fundamental Bylaws..And the Board would fund community actions. CD, BTonkin and BB to work on this issue collaboratively. GS - We need to consider all input including the Board's. BB - agreed. Becky Burr: i will seek input from the board on whether, and if so why, they think separate panels are necessary. B. Tonkin - The Board separated these thinking that commercial complaints should be handled differently from community complaints (rules, costs etc.). BB - should not differentiate based on complainant but rather on type of complaints. Regardless from an efficiency point of view a single panel would see best for all complaints. Asha Hemrajani: One thing to remember though that the MEM panel is NOT an "advisory IRP" but very much binding Becky Burr: confused Asha, are you saying that the Board is not agreeing to make IRPs binding?? Asha Hemrajani: @Becky no, both are binding Staff - Schedule for Dublin still fluid trying to adapt to CCWG needs - as such we should wait for Monday before taking any time commitments.
