<div>There is a practical issue on determining retroactivity – how far back does it go? Is it only on standards for review, or does it also include the method of review (ex: would a pending IRP that already has a panel in place then have to start anew before
the “new” IRP panel?) At what point would application of different standards be something that could be detrimental to parties within an ongoing IRP (such as those that have expended large amounts of money on counsel arguing to one standard, only to be required
to move to another?) If there would be more time required for the existing IRPs to reach conclusion because of retroactive application, how are the interests of those who are the other impacted parties (such as competing applicants for new gTLD strings) considered
in any additional time requirements? I’m not expressing an opinion either way (retroactivity or not) but just raise these as issues of concern as we look at the retroactive/nonretroactive issue. </div>

sure, for example, that the panel appointees will have their own views on the best process to adopt for their own operations. Perhaps we can suffice with a statement of general principles, adopted as part of the IRP charter, rather than a point-by-point specific

<p class="MsoNormal">The question about retroactive application of a reformed IRP is complicated, but on balance I come down on the side of retroactivity. The "good faith" standard adopted by the Board as a Bylaws amendment on the Consent calendar and over
the well reasoned objection of the only stakeholder group that noticed what was going on (RySG) was illegitimate to begin with and has created totally anomalous results - some panels have ignored the new standard and some have followed it. <u></u><u></u></p>
