<p class="MsoNormal">Dear members of the IRP IOT,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For our call tomorrow at 19:00 UTC.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached are two brief slides with my thoughts on trying to coordinate disparate joinder comments.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Slide two mentions bylaw section 4.3(s) – which states this:
<span style="color:#1f497d">“<span style="background:white">(s) An IRP Panel should complete an IRP proceeding expeditiously, issuing an early scheduling order and its written decision no later than six months after the filing of the Claim, except as otherwise
permitted under the Rules of Procedure. The preceding sentence does not provide the basis for a Covered Action.”<u></u><u></u></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:white"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And mentions bylaw 4.3(r) - which says this: <span style="color:#1f497d">
“<span style="background:white">(r)<span class="m_-4587009037403138087apple-converted-space"> </span></span>ICANN<span class="m_-4587009037403138087apple-converted-space"><span style="background:white"> </span></span><span style="background:white">shall bear all the administrative costs of maintaining
the IRP mechanism, including compensation of Standing Panel members. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3(e)(ii), each party to an IRP proceeding shall bear its own legal expenses, except that<span class="m_-4587009037403138087apple-converted-space"> </span></span>ICANN<span class="m_-4587009037403138087apple-converted-space"><span style="background:white"> </span></span><span style="background:white">shall
bear all costs associated with a Community IRP, including the costs of all legal counsel and technical experts. Nevertheless, except with respect to a Community IRP, the IRP Panel may shift and provide for the losing party to pay administrative costs and/or
fees of the prevailing party in the event it identifies the losing party's Claim or defense as frivolous or abusive.”</span><u></u><u></u></span></p>
