<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks Jeff. Although your comments and Steve’s are helpful, I am pretty sure the public comments on Standing IRT were based on the notion we all understand as setting up an IRT prior to launch and then continuing
that body through the launch process and afterward. (I would appreciate clarifying comments from others as to their understanding.) Coming up with another name for the Standing IRT “post public comment period” does not necessarily make up for that, though
it could be helpful in the follow-up public comment period for limited topics.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">[Jeff] The Initial Report stated the following recommendations:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:red">“2.2.2.c.1: Currently, as a result of consensus recommendations made by the GNSO, the ICANN Board endorsed the GNSO’s Policy and Implementation Recommendations, including those related to the Consensus Policy
Implementation Framework (CPIF)12 for governing the implementation phase of GNSO policies. If issues arise during this phase, the GNSO could seek to utilize the GNSO Expedited Policy Development Process or the GNSO Guidance Process, as defined in the ICANN
Bylaws. However, there is support in the Working Group for a recommendation that the New gTLD Program, once launched (i.e., after the Implementation Review Team), should be subject to a new Predictability Framework, to address issues that arise regarding the
introduction of new gTLDs. <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:red">Among other recommendations, the Working Group believes that as part of the Predictability Framework, a
<b>Standing Implementation Review Team (IRT) should be constituted after the publication of the Applicant Guidebook</b> to consider changes in the implementation, execution and/or operations of the new gTLD program after its launch, and the introduction of
any further evaluation guidelines not available to applicants when applications were submitted. The Predictability Framework is intended to provide guidance to the Standing IRT in how issues should be resolved, which could include recommending that the GNSO
Council initiate GNSO processes provided by the ICANN Bylaws”<o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">In addition, in the deliberations section, it states: “The other noteworthy component of the Predictability Framework that bears mentioning is the potential establishment of a new structure - the Standing Implementation
Review Team (IRT). This Standing IRT, which is something that the Working Group sees exclusively as an element of the New gTLD Program, is only to be established after the regular IRT completes its work (i.e., at the time of program launch). The high-level
role of the Standing IRT is to help triage issues to determine what mechanisms should be utilized to address the issue. However, the Working Group acknowledges that if this new mechanism is to be established, a number of details will need to be agreed upon,
such as: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">● Composition of the Standing IRT
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">○ Number of members
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">○ Appointment of members
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">● Length of term of Standing IRT members
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">● Role of the Standing IRT member (representative vs independent judgement)
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">● Conflicts of interest procedures
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">● Confidentiality obligations
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red">● ICANN Staff role and level of participation …..
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="color:red"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">So based on the fact that we separately discuss the CPIF and the Standing IRT, coupled with the fact that we sought comment on the Standing IRT membership, length of term, etc., we believe that it should have been
clear that we were talking about the Standing IRT as separate and in addition to the normal PDP IRT. If that was not as clear as it could have been, assuming we adopt this Framework, we can make it much more clear.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It would also help a lot if you could explain very simply what you think is “outside the jurisdiction” of the Working Group:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">1. Is it supposedly outside our jurisdiction to recommend to GNSO Council that an IRT be constituted?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">[Jeff] I suppose we can recommend anything we want on this subject, but the GNSO Council would not be bound to follow it.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">2. Is it supposedly outside our jurisdiction to recommend IRT involvement with the revised AGB before it is published? (I think most WG participants would be expecting this involvement.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">[Jeff] I agree that while most of the community would assume that an IRT would be involved in some aspects of the revisions to the AGB, it is outside our scope to make specific recommendations on what a PDP IRT does
or does not do; But this is certainly an issue to remind the GNSO Councilors on if you believe it is an issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">3. . Is it supposedly outside our jurisdiction to recommend that the IRT be tasked with helping determine which “change requests” should be subject to public comment? (In that case, we might have to consider
the issue of which change requests should require public comment in the Working Group itself. Here, the IRT solution seems preferable given our timeline.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:red">[Jeff} I believe the way you have worded the question, yes that would be outside of our jurisdiction. However, we can achieve similar results by making a recommendation that certain change requests should be subject
to public comment including….{List the ones we know of now}, and then state that “additional changes that should go out for public comment may be agreed upon during the implementation process.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Unfortunately, these questions become necessary since they are basic procedural issues underlying the assumptions made in all of our WG recommendations. We all need to be on the same page as to how “Implementation
Guidance” will be used and whether or not there will be “checks and balances” that normally operate within a system where staff is consulting with a broadly representative IRT prior to launch and during the drafting of the revised AGB.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All of that said, Steve is correct. The wording I used was intention to convey that the Council in theory could elect not to constitute an IRT, but I think as past experience has shown (and even for the ePDP), the Council does tend to
constitute IRTs and I can’t imagine this circumstance would be any different. But that is not a decision for this Working Group.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I do agree with Rubens on the point that we may want to come up with another name for what we are now calling the “Standing IRT Panel” because it can easily get confused with the PDP IRT. Standing Operation Review Panel (SORP) doesn’t sound quite right though
not just because of the funny sounding Acronym, but also because it may be looking at non-operational things. Perhaps something with Advisory in it. I first thought of TLD Advisory Review Team, but TART is much worse
<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">😊</span> Perhaps TLD Advisory Panel (TAP)?<o:p></o:p></p>
