<p class="MsoNormal">Dear members of the IRP IOT,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am still working on the repose issue – see my mail of March 21<sup>st</sup>. I hope to wrap that up shortly.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, we have pending the ‘types of hearings’ issue. I inadvertently overlooked Malcolm’s
<a href="https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/iot/2018-January/000350.html">email</a> of Jan. 3<sup>rd</sup> on the topic and said we would take that suggestion up for discussion.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My proposal is that we speak about (1) repose and (2) types of hearings on a call soon. I am trying to sort schedule – suggest we meet at 19:00 UTC either Thursday April 26 or Thursday May 3. Can you please comment on list if either date
is bad for you? Then Bernie and I can set a date in the coming days. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In addition, I will shortly send an email on ‘elements’ of an IRP claim (see Bylaw section 4.3(n)(iv)(C)).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let’s then also discuss (3) elements on the call unless we can agree earlier on list.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also on the call, I expect to discuss the ‘two buckets’ approach to the rules – i.e., releasing the rules we are finished with after getting Sidley’s review and then working on remaining one or two issues if some remain.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That, roughly then, will be the agenda of next call. Please do read over Malcolm’s mail of Jan. 3 and look for my mail on elements, will send it shortly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best wishes,<o:p></o:p></p>
