<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">As mentioned, I want to run an idea on this list about treatment of elements of an IRP claim.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is a matter we have not yet specifically addressed as part of the supplementary rules - the ‘required elements of a Claim.’<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bylaw 4.3(n)(iv)(C) says as follows:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in"><i><span style="background:white"><u></u> <u></u></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in"><i><span style="background:white">(iv) The Rules of Procedure are intended to ensure fundamental fairness and due process and shall at a minimum address the following elements:</span><u></u><u></u></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <i>…</i><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:0.5in"><i><span style="background:white">(C) Rules governing written submissions,
<span style="background:yellow">including the required elements of a Claim</span>, other requirements or limits on content, time for filing, length of statements, number of supplemental statements, if any, permitted evidentiary support
(factual and expert), including its length, both in support of a Claimant's Claim and in support of </span>ICANN<span style="background:white">'s Response;<u></u><u></u></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Keeping in mind that our task is to create ‘supplementary’ rules, it is worth noting that the standard International Arbitration Rules of the ICDR address the particulars that need to be stated in a Notice of Arbitration. They include:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol type="a" style="margin-top:0in" start="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
a demand that the dispute be referred to arbitration; <u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
the names, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and email addresses of the parties and, if known, of their representatives;
<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
a copy of the entire arbitration clause or agreement being invoked, and, where claims are made under more than one arbitration agreement, a copy of the arbitration agreement under which each claim is made;
<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
a reference to any contract out of or in relation to which the dispute arises; <u></u>
<u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
a description of the claim and of the facts supporting it; <u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
the relief or remedy sought and any amount claimed; and <u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
g. optionally, proposals, consistent with any prior agreement between or among the parties, as to the means of designating the arbitrators, the number of arbitrators, the place of arbitration, the language(s) of the arbitration, and any interest in mediating
the dispute.<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">These are not an exact fit for IRP, and of course some are inapplicable to IRP (e.g., an amount claimed).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(The <a href="https://www.icdr.org/sites/default/files/document_repository/Supplementary_Procedures_ICANN_Independent_Review_Process.pdf" target="_blank">
current supplementary rules for IRP</a> – those in effect now, not the ones we are drafting for the new IRP – don’t specifically deal with ‘elements’ although Section 5 (Written Statements) presumably covers the topic.)
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I propose that we add a section on elements to the draft supplementary rules. This seems to me to be an administrative task that would not need to be subject to community comment.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am asking for you feedback then on two issues:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol type="1" style="margin-top:0in" start="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
Can my suggested addition (below) be added to the Updated Supplementary Procedures without public comment; and<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
Is the language below acceptable to you?<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is what I suggest for elements:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That we add a new section under the definition of DISPUTES in section 1. Definitions in the draft
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-irp-supp-procedures-31oct16-en.pdf" target="_blank">
Updated Supplementary Procedures</a> as follows:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(D) A written statement of a DISPUTE shall contain at least the following information:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol type="1" style="margin-top:0in" start="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
A demand that the DISPUTE be referred to Independent Review pursuant to Bylaw section 4.3 (or Annex D, Section 4.2 for Empowered Community claims);<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
a reference to any ICANN contract, ICANN policy, ICANN action or inaction, or decision by a process-specific expert panel out of or in relation to which the DISPUTE arises; and<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;margin-bottom:10pt">
a description of the claim and the facts supporting it and how such contract, policy, action or inaction, or decision violate(s) ICANN’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws;
<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal">These elements don’t address PTI service complaints or IANA Naming Functions contract complaints, but we can address that when the IOT later addresses any ‘specialized’ rules noted in Bylaw 4.3(n)(ii).
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please weigh in on list. <u></u><u></u></p>
