[Gnso-rpm-providers] Actions & Notes: RPM Sub Team for URS Providers & call on Wednesday, 28 March 2018 18:00 UTC

[Julie Hedlund]

Dear Sub Team members,

 

Please see attached and on the wiki at https://community.icann.org/x/6gC8B the notes and transcript from the presentation from the Providers Sub Team on Saturday, 10 March at ICANN61.  Please also see the following action items:

 

Action Items: 

1. Communications: Add “Are providers coordinating abusive complaints across providers?”

2. Response: 

a) “Has the Provider conducted a compliance check for a Respondent for factors beyond the two items stated in the provision?” Add the questions, “How do the providers review the complaint?  What is their intake process?”

b) Ask “Who determines whether a response is non-compliant – the provider or examiner?”

3. Examiner:  

a) “Has there been any circumstance that gave rise to justifiable doubt of the independence/impartiality of an examiner? If so, did the examiner disclose this?” Add “Did the examiner disclose this [to the provider] before and/or during the case proceeding? If no, what happened?” 

b) Seem to be missing questions re: how examiners are selected, what training do they have, etc. Reference those questions captured in the notes on 21 February.  Staff to check and add any missing questions.

c) Replace “Providers” with “Examiners” in the proposed question: “Have Providers gotten Responses alleging any abusive complaint? If so, how did Providers act in those cases?”

d) Add: “Does the respondent have the opportunity to point to a conflict of interest?  How do respondents know of a conflict of interest in advance?” and “How the examiner confirms that it is impartial.”

4. General Powers of the Examiners: Add the following suggested questions for Providers in the consolidated document: “How examiners are selected? What background they have? What kind of training they have? How they determine the standard of proof in URS cases?”

 

Based on last week’s discussion there is a need for at least one more meeting of the Sub Team, which is scheduled for the non-APAC time rotation (the last meeting was at the APAC time) of 18:00 UTC on Wednesday, 28 March.  NOTE: By anchoring the time at UTC this advances the time of the meeting in the US following Daylight Saving Time by one hour to 11:00 PDT/14:00 EDT – please let us know ASAP if you have a conflict.

 

NOTE: Adobe Connect will not be available for the call.  We will use PGI for the teleconference and we’ll ask Sub Team members to reference the attached documents, which also will be on the wiki agenda at: https://community.icann.org/display/RARPMRIAGPWG/Meetings+for+URS+Providers. 

   

Kind regards,

Julie

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
