... IV.
Procedures for Board review of ALAC certification decisions:
ALAC decisions to certify or de-certify an At-Large Structure are
subject to review according to procedures to be established by the
Board. The ALAC proposes that review procedures be established, as
proposed below:
1. A request for
review of an ALAC decision to certify or de-certify an ALS would be
required to be filed within 60 days after the ALAC posts notice of the
action on its web site. Requests for review would be submitted by
email to xxxxxx. No particular form is required, but requesting
parties would include at least the following information:
2.
name, address, and contact information for the requesting
party (including postal and email addresses);
3. the
specific action for which review is sought;
4. the
date of the action;
5. the
facts supporting the request for review;
6.
the grounds on which the Board should conduct its review;
and
7.
any documents the requesting party wishes to submit in support
of its request.
The ICANN Board will appoint three of its Directors to consider such
requests and conduct the reviews. The Board appointed review group
will notify the ALAC of the request for review. The review group may
request additional information from all parties involved in the
review, as well as other sources. Requests for review and the Board
review group's activities and decisions will be made public on the
ICANN website. The review group may, in its discretion, grant a
party's request to keep certain information confidential. For any
matters that the review group determines not to disclose, the review
group's decision will describe in general terms the nature of the
information and the reason for nondisclosure.
The review group will endeavor to complete its work and issue its
final decision within 30 days of the filing of the request; its
decision will be made public on the ICANN web site.
To protect against abuse of the review process, a request for review
may be dismissed by the review group where it is frivolous,
non-substantive, or otherwise abusive....
