[This is for the Independent Review subgroup: Paul
Rosenzweig, David McAuley, Jonathan Zuck, Robin Gross, Chris
LaHatte,
me]. I don't think a separate mailing list has been set up, so
I
apologize to the rest of you who are working on other issues
here]
I'm a little bit late to the WP2 party, but I thought, just
for the
purpose of kicking off our discussion, we might see if there
we can
generate a list of topics that we need to cover for the design
of the IRP
--
I'm sure there are others, but here's a starter group, picking
up on some
of the "issues" listed in the latest work item list and adding
a few others:
1. Will the IRP be a permanent standing panel, or will it
have
rotating membership?
2. What is the scope of the IRB's jurisdiction - what kinds
of
claims can it hear?
3. What standard of review will it use to render its
decisions?
4. Standing - who can bring claims to the IRP?
5. How will IRB members be nominated and appointed?
6. Term - for how long will IRP members serve? Can they be
re-appointed?
7. Will there be a process for removal of IRP members?
8. Costs - who will pay IRP costs?
9. How will IRP decisions be implemented? Are they binding
on
the Board? Can they be overturned by the Board?
10. Should changes to the IRP process be made permanent
(i.e., not
subject to Board modification)? If so, how can we accomplish
that?
As I said, I'm sure there are things missing or mis-stated -
but I do
think it would be worth trying to put a list like this
together to
structure our discussion as we plunge forward.
