<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US">On the last IRP-IOT call, the issue was raised on the treatment of page limitation rules for multi-party matters (i.e. whether the page limitations for written statements of 25 pages total
set forth in Section 6 is an appropriate collective limit for all parties). We had some research done on this issue. Below is some information for the IRP-IOT’s discussion on this matter as the IOT also considers issues of serving the purpose of the IRP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">The Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation and the Rules of Court of the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) both support
the notion that co-parties should be treated separately for purposes of submissions/length of submissions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">As the IOT considers updating this Supplemental Procedure, the IOT may wish to consider whether any guidance should be given to parties in avoiding restatements of other
party’s arguments/avoidance of duplication, as the presumed funder of the panelist fees for IRPs is ICANN through the funds to which it has been entrusted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
