The rationale behind this proposal is that there are instances in which the harm is only done AFTER a decision that violates the Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation is made. A typical example would be the decision to delegate a new gTLD that has a high likelihood
of harming determined interests or rights or users. In this case, the potentially harmed communities should be in a position to file an IRP BEFORE the harm is done, thus avoiding the commission of the violation. Hence, sometimes it makes no sense to wait till
irreversible damage is caused, and a provision envisaging this situation should be put in place, expanding the scope of legitimacy to file an IRP to situations in which it is demonstrated that a severe harm can potentially be done.</span></i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.5pt">As to “potentially affected” parties, I think we are really talking about “prospectively affected” parties. In other words, if the Board takes an action, the party in question will be materially or significantly
and adversely affected. In that case, a prospectively affected party would have standing to seek relief prior to an action or decision to the extent the prospective harm is ‘material’ or ‘significant’ and the normal standard for pre-emptive or injunctive
relief is met. This would require a showing on the part of the prospectively affected party that they are likely to win an IRP on the merits and that there is no adequate remedy once an action or decision has been taken. Putting aside the merits of any particular
case, I believe that this approach has been adopted in at least one ongoing IRP.</span></i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The chart below reflects my quick research regarding how this issue is handled in different (English speaking) jurisdictions, and how it has been applied in the international arbitration
context in an ICANN IRP. (It would be great if Thomas and Leon could provide information on how this applies in civil law jurisdictions.) Our task is to decide (a) whether we agree that this kind of prospective harm should be covered, and if so, what standard
should be applied. Please let me know your thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<i>"… most of the Rules do not provide any guidance other than that the decision maker “may” grant interim relief where the decision maker deems it “necessary” or “appropriate.” Some commentators have criticized this lack of specificity, arguing that defined
standards will help overcome arbitrators’ traditional reluctance to grant requests for interim relief. Consequently, one commentator has argued that an applicant should be required to demonstrate that it is “possible” (not “probable”) that it will prevail
on the merits and that it will suffer irreparable harm if the relief is not granted. This is the approach that UNCITRAL has adopted. Others have argued that these standards, although vague, necessarily incorporate other requirements, such as irreparable harm,
urgency, and some consideration of the strength of the parties’ claims and defenses.”</i>)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
