Most recently in the ICANN context, this includes the Policy Development Process Working Group that developed the five Curative Rights recommendations, of which Recommendation #5 was the one referred to this Work Track by the GNSO Council. In its Initial Report, the Working Group had requested public comments on two options for handling the question of IGO jurisdictional immunity: (1) what ultimately became Recommendation #5; or (2) allow for appeals from a panel decision under the existing ICANN dispute resolution processes to be decided through arbitration. ICANN staff had also noted a number of materials for the Working Group to inform its discussions over an arbitral appeal mechanism, including: (1) the UNCITRAL Rules mentioned by Kris in his previous note; (2) the deliberations of the WIPO General Assembly in 2002 (subsequent to the WIPO-2 Domain Name Process mentioned on our call earlier today); and (3) a 2003 WIPO Secretariat paper discussing the possible contours of a de novo appeal mechanism (although this study was undertaken in the context of country names rather than IGO identifiers). Should the Work Track decide to proceed to discuss some form of arbitral appeal option, we will be happy to provide summaries of the previous work that is relevant to this topic – both within ICANN and externally - and links to full copies of the materials.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">In this regard, we note that the GNSO Council had expressly included the external expert memo (by Professor Edward Swaine of the George Washington University law school) and the IGO Small Group Proposal (mentioned by Brian) in the chartering document as relevant documentation for this Work Track to review.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Prior discussions in various forums inside and outside ICANN, echoed by various participants on our call today, confirm that the basic challenges IGOs face in using the existing ICANN dispute resolution processes are the requirements to have trademark rights for standing to file a complaint and to submit to the jurisdiction in a Mutual Jurisdiction (as defined in the applicable Rules). These prior discussions also show that there are longstanding differences of opinion about whether the more appropriate policy solution is to amend the existing processes or develop a separate one for disputes involving IGOs. Where an arbitral mechanism is concerned, a few factors this Work Track may wish to consider could include when and how an agreement to go to arbitration is obtained, whether an appeal via arbitration is mandatory or voluntary, and (if the solution involves the current ICANN processes) any effects on the existing Mutual Jurisdiction requirement.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">We hope the above information is helpful as the Work Track begins to consider possible options and creative solutions.<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Cheers<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Steve and Mary<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); padding: 3pt 0in 0in;" class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><b class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">From:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="">gnso-igo-wt <<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-wt-bounces@icann.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">gnso-igo-wt-bounces@icann.org</a>> on behalf of Vanda Scartezini via gnso-igo-wt <<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-wt@icann.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">gnso-igo-wt@icann.org</a>><br class=""><b class="">Reply-To:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Vanda Scartezini <<a href="mailto:vanda@scartezini.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">vanda@scartezini.org</a>><br class=""><b class="">Date:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Monday, February 22, 2021 at 3:10 PM<br class=""><b class="">To:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>BECKHAM Brian <<a href="mailto:brian.beckham@wipo.int" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">brian.beckham@wipo.int</a>>, "<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-wt@icann.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">gnso-igo-wt@icann.org</a>" <<a href="mailto:gnso-igo-wt@icann.org" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;" class="">gnso-igo-wt@icann.org</a>><br class=""><b class="">Subject:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Re: [gnso-igo-wt] Just a simple way of looking at arbitration<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif;" class="">Totally agree Brian.

One of the characteristics of international arbitration is that it to a large extent relies on an international or transnational legal framework. </span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 22.1px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">The effects of arbitration agreements and of arbitral awards, as well as the role of the courts regarding arbitration agreements and awards, are regulated in international conventions such as the New York or the ICSID Conventions. Furthermore, although there is room for specificities of national law, commercial arbitration acts are largely harmonised especially through the impact of the UNCITRAL Model Law. </span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 22.1px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">Similarly, even if arbitral institutions try to distinguish one from each other by providing for some specific tools, the essential content of arbitration rules does not vary. It can be said, consequently, that the transnational framework of arbitration is intended to create to the extent possible an autonomous system of dispute resolution, which can be applied in a uniform way irrespective of the country in which the proceedings take place or the award is sought enforced. The procedural autonomy of arbitration may also have an impact on how arbitral tribunals relate to the substance of the dispute.</span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 22.1px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">As arbitral awards are final and binding, and domestic courts and ICSID annulment committees do not have the power to review them in the merits, arbitral tribunals enjoy a considerable flexibility in selecting and applying the rules of law applicable to the dispute, even though they are constrained to respect the will of the parties. Legal literature has strongly emphasized that this flexibility creates an expectation of delocalization: both from the procedural and from the substantive point of view, arbitration is described as a method for settling disputes that strives for uniformity on a transnational level and should not be subject to national laws. The autonomy and flexibility of arbitration, however, are not absolute. </span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 22.1px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">The international instruments that regulate arbitration either make, in some contexts, reference to national law or call for the application of (general or concrete) international law. Also, they do not cover all aspects of arbitration, thus leaving room for national regulation. Additionally, the restricted role that courts and ICSID ad hoc committees have in arbitration does not completely exclude that national law may have an impact. While court and committee control is not a review in the merits, application of the parameters for validity or enforceability of an award, even where these parameters are harmonised, may depend on national regulation.</span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 22.1px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">Importantly, the definition of what disputes are arbitrable is left to national law. While the scope of arbitrability has been significantly expanded starting from the last two decades of the last century, there are signs now that it may be restricting. The scope of arbitrability may be looked upon as a measure of the trust that the legal system has in arbitration. From another perspective, it may represent the way in which States approach the settlement of international commercial disputes: intending to keep an exclusive power by means of the exclusion of private deciders, or adopting the role of controllers of the regularity of arbitration. As far as investment arbitration is specifically concerned, it is well known that States’ attitudes are diverse and may change from time to time. In both cases, States’ policy choices may have an impact on applicable law issues.</span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 22.1px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal;"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">All the foregoing considerations, succinctly exposed, are the frame for the present topic. On such a basis, it is possible to develop two lists of issues to be individually addressed. The first list deals with the fundamental aspects of the topic. Among the issues included therein, some refer to all types of arbitration, while others are rather specific to either commercial or investment arbitration. The second list responds to the fact that the applicable law is not necessarily unitary. Indeed, according to the principle of severability, a different law may apply to the procedural aspects and to the substantive aspects of the dispute, and within these two categories there are further possibilities for severing the applicable law. Thus, one can wonder to which issues is it appropriate to apply international sources of law, to which issues is it appropriate to apply soft sources of law, to which is it appropriate to apply national sources of law, and to which issues is it appropriate to apply (or to create) transnational standards. </span></span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal; min-height: 22.1px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class=""> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="p1" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-stretch: normal;"><span class="s1"><b class=""><i class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="">Or a combination of these sources?
