closed IRP-IOT – Proposed updates to the IRP Supplementary Procedures

Outcome

What We Received Input On

The IRP-IOT wishes to gather input from the ICANN community on each of the rules in its current proposals for updating the IRP Supplementary Procedures. The relevant rules are:

• Rule 3 - Panel selection
• Rule 4 - Time for Filing, including:
• 4A – Initiation of an IRP
• 4B – Time to File
• 4C - Timing considerations for a Claimant to File an IRP following a Request for Reconsideration (RFR)
• 4D - Limited Circumstances for Requesting Permission to File After the 24 month limit
• Rule 5B - Translation
• Rule 7 - Consolidation, Intervention and Participation as an Amicus

Respondents should clearly indicate in their comments if they support the changes made to each rule as a whole. If you do not support the changes, please provide a detailed explanation of why you do not support the changes to each rule.

Background

At the outset of its work, the reconstituted IRP-IOT prioritized updating the Supplementary rules as its first objective. In analyzing the current Interim Supplementary Rules, the IRP-IOT further prioritized the elements presented in this public consultation.

The changes proposed for each of these rules is the result of significant work over the past three and a half years by the IRP-IOT and represent compromises by all members, allowing the group to achieve consensus on all of these.

In some cases, such as Rule 4 - Time for Filing, some members of the IRP-IOT could not support the consensus but did support bringing the proposal to the community for input.
