Would it be useful to try and list the possible situations where
recourse to an appeals mechanism would be used? This might give us
a better sense of what type of mechanism would be suited and whether
or not the IRP would be appropriate/adequate?<br>

lang="EN-US">“Sidley spoke with Becky Burr from CCWG today
regarding the CWG dependency for an IRP process. Based
on the call, it appears that the open question for CWG is
whether the CWG dependency is adequately met with an ICANN
bylaw provision that allows for an IRP if ICANN fails to
enforce the contract with PTI (for example, due to a
material performance breach by PTI that is not cured) –
or whether in addition to such an ICANN bylaw, a separate
process is also required that would give direct customers
a right to mediation or arbitration to address SLAs or
other service issues. If the latter is required, then in
order for CCWG to create such a process, it would need
input from CWG on what the standard of review should be
for those types of proceedings and what the type of
process would be – for example, would non-binding
mediation be sufficient to address a direct customer issue
or would binding arbitration be required? By clarifying
this point, CCWG will be better positioned to ensure that
the CWG dependency is being met in the CCWG proposal.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
