      • ICANN org to review and evaluate the relevant materials related to the .PERSIANGULF matter and provide an evaluation to BAMC for its consideration.
      • BAMC to provide a recommendation to the Board as to whether or not the application for .PERSIANGULF should proceed.
  3. Discussion of Process for Handing Reconsideration Requests that are Currently "On Hold" - Becky Burr abstained from the discussion, noting potential conflicts. The BAMC noted that the Board has recently received letters from a number of applicants with pending Reconsideration Requests regarding the CPE process. Because some of the letters included lengthy reports, which the BAMC noted dealt mainly with the CPE of the respective sender's new gTLD community applications rather than the CPE Process Review Reports, the Board's consideration of the BAMC's recommendations regarding the next steps in the CPE Process Review was continued from the scheduled 4 February 2018 meeting to the 15 March 2018 meeting to allow the Board additional time to consider the recently submitted materials. If the Board approves the BAMC's recommendations, the BAMC will need to move forward with consideration of the remaining Reconsideration Requests relating to the CPE process that were placed on hold pending completion of the CPE Process Review. The BAMC discussed the process for considering the pending requests as outlined in the Roadmap attached to the proposed Board resolution. The process would include inviting the Requestors the opportunity to present an oral presentation to the BAMC and the opportunity to submit additional materials in support of their requests provided that the materials are related to the CPE Process Review Reports. The BAMC noted that all the pending requests were filed under the Bylaws that were in effect prior to 1 October 2016, which delegated to the Committee the authority to issue a final determination on challenges of staff action and would not require further Board action. The BAMC noted that while some of the pending requests would fall under this category, given the public nature of the CPE Process Review, the BAMC will make recommendations to the Board on all pending requests for the Board to make the final determinations. The BAMC also discussed consideration of Request 17-5 which requires a final determination from the Board by 20 April 2018. The BAMC has continued its consideration of this request as the relief requested under Request 17-5 will be rendered moot if the Board accepts the BAMC's recommendation at the 15 March 2017 meeting.

    • Actions:
      • ICANN org to contact the requestors of pending Reconsideration Requests to invite them to present an oral presentation to the BAMC and submit additional materials related to the CPE Process Review Reports.
      • ICANN org to coordinate with Board Operations for scheduling of BAMC meetings for oral presentations.
      • BAMC to consider pending Reconsideration Requests taking into consideration all relevant materials and provide recommendations to Board for consideration.
      • ICANN org to prepare relevant materials related to Reconsideration Request 17-5 for BAMC consideration.
  4. Discussion on the status of work relating to the new Independent Review Process – The Committee received a briefing on the status of the work of the IRP Implementation Oversight Team (IOT) in updating the IRP Supplementary Procedures. The BAMC was advised that there are differing positions within the IOT on the issue of the timing by which an IRP may be filed, which may result in another round of public comment on the issue given that the proposals on the deadline are materially different from the prior draft that was published for public comment. The BAMC discussed possible options of resolving the differences.

  5. Litigation Update – The BAMC received a litigation update.
