Page 58 states that Pricewaterhouse (PwC) was the independent third-party that did background screening.

I can't recall which ones exactly but insofar as that is a possibility, would any of the arbiters being considered in Annex, then change? Or are we to keep our recommendations / implementation guidance simply on the basis of what happened for the 2012 round?


I think we should look at future trends, starting with what happened. Considering all my dealings with ICANN Org I was genuinely surprised when they mentioned the possibility of moving some evaluations in-house, but they also mentioned that this would be more in response to a continuing application process, not a round based one.

So, we would need to look whether the post-transition RfR is now as effective as a redress mechanism as being thought in the limited appeals process. The central issue is whether substantive redress is possible, in order to not have "we followed procedure" responses.
