Forwarding the email below to the general CWG-Stewardship mailing list. From: <cwg-client-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Sharon Flanagan <sflanagan@sidley.com> Date: Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 9:07 PM To: Client Committee <cwg-client@icann.org> Subject: [client com] FW: [CCWG-ACCT] PTI and the IRP Dear Client Committee, We wanted to flag for you a recent discussion on the CCWG list serve relating to the CWG requirement for an IRP process to cover PTI actions/inactions. The email chain is pasted below and includes input from Greg and Avri. Also, below is the language from the final CWG comment letter to CCWG on this point. We believe the approach highlighted in yellow could be a workable solution. ³As we noted in our comment letter to the Second Draft Proposal, the Third Draft Proposal does not explicitly address the CWG-Stewardship requirement that an independent review process be available for claims relating to actions or inactions of PTI. This requirement could be addressed in a number of ways. For example, a provision could be added to the ICANN Bylaws that would require ICANN to enforce its rights under the ICANN-PTI Contract/Statement of Work (SOW), with a failure by ICANN to address a material breach by PTI under the contract being grounds for an IRP process by the Empowered Community (after engagement and escalation). Another approach would be to expand and modify, as appropriate, the IRP process currently contemplated by the Third Draft Proposal to cover claims relating to actions or inactions of PTI, with the ICANN Bylaws and PTI governance documents expressly confirming that the IRP process is binding on PTI (which provisions would be Fundamental Bylaws that could not be amended without community approval). Regardless of approach, the CWG-Stewardship requires that this dependency be addressed in the final CCWG-Accountability proposal in order for the CWG-Stewardship to confirm that the conditions of the CWG-Stewardship final transition proposal have been adequately addressed.² As counsel to CCWG, we have a call with Becky Burr from CCWG on this topic tomorrow. If there is any additional guidance that CWG would like to provide on this topic beyond what was included in the comment letter, could you please let us know?

The PTI IRP is fundamentally not a Bylaws issue (or more accurately -- fundamentally not a "violation of the Bylaws" issue). Having "borrowed" the IRP in an attempt to fill the requirements of the CWG, we can't then pretend that the requirements of the CWG are coterminous with the general design of the IRP. The CWG's requirements will require a specific statement of the basis on which a claim may be brought -- and it is a different basis than for other IRP claims. This doesn't have to be long, but it does have to be right. Conversely, if we are truly wedded to the idea that the IRP is a "bylaws court" and nothing more, then it can't be used to satisfy the CWG's requirement and we will need to do something else. Personally, I don't endorse this position (though it does raise some concern about the ability of the panel to deal with PTI failures, if it is designed to be a bylaws court. That said, I have sufficient faith in the skill of experienced arbitrators to be able to resolve a variety of disputes.) Since this a requirement for the transition, we need to resolve this crisply, explicitly and appropriately.

I do not see how to define this function in terms of By Laws alone as By Laws have little to say about negotiated SLAs and the customers' or CSC complaints.

Hi, I would have also added a +1 to the later as well but it seem not to respect the fact that ICANN as per agreement with PTI should make PTI comply and it is when that does not happen that an IRP would be ideal. The first option seem to capture that appropriately. Regards On 25 Jan 2016 15:00, "Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com> wrote:
