SO: When you say "we/our behalf", who were you referring to? If that refers to CWG, yes I don't disagree with that as that is within the names scope. Numbers (and I believe protocol) have their way of reviewing and resolving any action/inaction of ICANN (PTI) as stipulated in their respective transition proposals(and subsequently the SLAs).

I have no idea why numbers community customer will want to utilise the ICANN IRP as a result of PTI action/inaction as they have their process defined independently, and I expect same applies to protocol parameters as well.

Secondly I have NO idea why ICANN as a corporation will want to use an IRP to compel PTI to comply PTI's action/inaction considering that ICANN is the only member of PTI and as such has (logical) control over it.

I believe we should not loose the heart of the question which simply ask whether the ICANN IRP (as robustly proposed by CCWG) would be sufficient in a situation where ICANN keeps quite on PTI's action/inaction that violates the contractual obligations between ICANN and PTI. From a separate response you wrote, you seem to imply that it is possible to use the IRP if the scope is well defined in the bylaw (ref: So either we need a bylaw that covers all the conditions on which an appeal would be made). It therefore seem we are in agreement afterall.
