Thank you Justine. Yes it's like a judicial committee and they must not be affiliated to any group in ICANN therefore they would not be know my anyone in iCAnn.

However, the legal system or hierarchy varries from one country to the other and it required a diverse team to be able to dissect things.

The current composition of IRP-IOT to me is not diverse enough but it's not too bad. It has 18 members and from my initial glance it has one person from Africa and one from Latin America. I do not know where the applications would come from but it requires diversity to appriciaiate some applications. Therefore I would suggest that a more diverse group should be set up I still think NOMCOM can do it if they are properly guided as to what to expect and do..

Thanks.

SOIs of members are found in a sub-page

On the one hand, I am not confident that NomCom is the right group to undertake selection because IRP panellists are required to have a specific skill-set which we cannot expect NomCom members to appreciate -- think of it like a judicial selection committee which is tasked to recommend appointment of judges. On the other hand, the IRP-IOT has members who have acted or are acting as advocates for aggrieved parties, so we would need to consider any perceptions of conflict of interest.

Hi All,
Yes, it might be a good idea for IRP-IOT to carry out this task but I think we need to see the full current composition (list of members) of IRP-IOT.
I have tried looking for the membership online ut can't find it. Maybe Greg can also help with that.
If the current IRP-IOT team is diverse enough, I would support it if not my suggestion would be to have a diverse team (new team or maybe a team like the NOMCOM) to do the job of selecting the candidate depending on the applications received.
Thanks

Dear all

In May, David sent the following request to SO-AC Chairs which I forwarded to this ALAC group seeking some opinion and/or advice on how ICANN might best proceed with establishing this standing panel.

Greg currently represents the ALAC on the IRP-IOT which is being recommended as one group that could be additionally assigned this role. Perhaps Greg could comment and make a recommendation based on his knowledge of the requirements of this new panel and what is being done on the current IRP-IOT.

Dear SO/AC Chairs :

I am reaching out to see how we can best help you with forming this representative group. Understanding the level of work already underway in the community, we are suggesting that one way forward might be to leverage an existing community group.

As you may know, one of the features of the updated Independent Review Process (IRP) under the new Bylaws is the establishment of a standing panel from which panelists shall be selected to preside over each IRP dispute. The Bylaws specify that “ICANN shall, in consultation with the Supporting Organizations [SOs] and Advisory Committees [ACs], initiate a four-step process to establish the Standing Panel…” (Bylaws, Art. 4, Sec. 4.3(j).)  Notably, the SOs and ACs must collectively agree on a single proposed standing panel slate to be submitted to the ICANN Board for approval as part of the four-step process.

We’ve received feedback from many SOs and ACs [secure-web.cisco.com] as to how they envision this work getting done, and published a summary and next steps [secure-web.cisco.com].  There is strong support for the SOs and ACs to further their selection effort of the Standing Panel through a small representative group, and ICANN org sees this as an important component to getting the Standing Panel established.

In looking at the groups that are already active, one potential way to proceed is to leverage the existence of the IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IRP-IOT).

The IRP-IOT, which you helped repopulate, is already comprised of people that are well qualified in issues relating to ICANN, international arbitration and dispute resolution and who are likely to have the skill sets that would be needed to lead the community work on this important endeavor. If this is a potential way forward, we could quickly work with you to explore how to appropriately do this work along with the other work underway in the IRP-IOT.

We are also ready to support the community in forming a new, separate representative group to do this work.

From the ICANN org side, we’re available to support the community to identify and get this representative group up and running so that the panel selection process can move forward – including identification of an expert to further support and coordinate the community work – in time to start work when the deadline for the submission of expressions interest to serve on the Standing Panel expires on 31 July.

Let us know how we can help you move this work along.

Best regards,
David
