Dear all,
Friendly reminder to look at the proposed letter,
Kind regards,
Bart
Dear all,
I am emailing you on behalf of Alejandra to seek your comments and input on the included draft letter to Samantha Eisner, ICANN legal. This letter is a response she raised to the Council via the ccNSO PDP3 WG on review
mechanism. The question is whether (future) decisions under the proposed retirement policy should be excluded from the ICANN Independent review process (like matters pertaining to delegation and “re-delegations”. Specifically she asked:
As there is specific reference in the Retirement Policy Recommendations to the ccPDP-RM in relation to two retirement-related issues, does the
ccNSO (emphasis added) consider both retirement issues set out at 5.2 of the Retirement Policy Recommendations as matters relating to delegation and transfer sufficient to both
be excluded from the ICANN Independent Review Process?
As you will recall, Stephen, in his capacity of chair of the Review Mechanism WG, raised the issue of the question a few times on the Council call and, as you also will recall, Patricio
raised this issue during his presentation to the Council on (16 June 2022) on the progress with respect to the Board consideration of the proposed retirement policy.
The included draft intends to answer the direct question from Samantha, but will also provide some clarity from a ccNSO perspective on related matters, such as carve-out from the
IRP of revocation, need to update the language in the Bylaws to align with the Framework interpretation and extend carve=out of retirement to Reconsideration (section 4.2 of the Bylaws).
Next steps.
If you have any questions or comments please provide them on the list over the next week (preferably no later than
Monday 11 July 17.00 UTC. The document will then be updated, consolidating your comments, and re-circulated. Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will provide the draft also in Google doc format.
Goal is to approve the letter at the next council call ( 21 July 2022), however if feasible Alejandra suggests to take an on-line decision before the meeting.
Thank you on behalf of Alejandra,
Kind regards,
Bart
