 was identified as having a ‘conflict of interest given the nature of an IRP.’ No explanation has been given as to the existence of an actual conflict of interest. Furthermore, it is unclear what was meant by ‘the nature of an IRP’ in this context?<u></u></span><br></p><p><span style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span><br></p><p><span style="color:black">Therefore, I see no justification in removing a single dispute resolution provider like WIPO from the list of institutions that may be consulted with a view to preparing a standing panel. WIPO is an

 internationally-recognized institution which duly reports to its Member States (its annual Assemblies are in fact occurring this week), has neutrally and impartially operated the UDRP (covering 45,000 cases) for more than twenty (20) years now to the benefit

ICANN staff to decide unilaterally to remove a provider from the list in a communication that is supposed to be prepared by the GNSO Council and for which I hold leadership responsibilities. <span style="color:black">  <span style="color:black">In order to rectify this situation, I see two options:  <span style="color:black">  <ol style="margin-top:0in" type="1" start="1"><li style="color:black;margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt">We revert back to the original text and, if necessary, have council debate on the subject; or  </li><li style="color:black;margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:11pt">The objection could be withdrawn. </li></ol><span style="color:black">  <span style="color:black">Thank you. <span style="color:black">  <span style="color:black">Kind regards, <span style="color:black">  <span style="color:black">Flip <span style="font-size:12pt">  P.S.: <span style="color:black">That said, I would suggest an additional change: that the GNSO Council consider removing the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) from the list, albeit for reasons unrelated to the subject above.

 To my knowledge, ICANN has not previously engaged with the PCA. Asking them to assist now may seem inappropriate unless we can provide compelling reasons to the contrary. As far as I am aware, ICANN has not had any intention to rely on PCA’s services, nor
