So do you intend to remove the existing limit, and specify that the IRP
can itself determine a reasonable time-bar?

That seems quite a big piece of discretion to hand it: what it decides
will affect the way the IRP looks quite a lot.

For my part, whatever the time limit should be, it is very important
that the clock only start ticking when the applicant has experiencd
whatever it is they wish to complain about, or is aware that they are
likely to experience it. The present approach - starting the clock when
the Board takes its decision - is no longer fit for purpose. It was
designed for when IRP cases were effectively limited to contracted parties.

We do not want our time limit to effectively debar non-contracted
parties who know nothing about ICANN from ever bringing a complaint.

I think this should be specified in the Bylaws.
