<div dir="ltr">ICANN just closed a CEP with my client that had lasted more than seven years, re .GCC. And not a single issue was narrowed or eliminated. So yes, the CEP Rules (circa 2013) really need a review.<div><br></div><div>Another client just had an RFR 'summarily dismissed' by the BAMC, which has only happened very rarely in the past.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">On our last call we discussed the possible other accountability measures which it might be appropriate to toll IRP time limits for, and agreed it would be helpful
to have a clearer picture of the time these processes take. The below is my best assessment – hopefully Sam or Liz will correct me if I have this wrong, but in any event there are various timings expressed as “where possible” and some steps with no clear
time limit that I can find, giving rise to an overall lack a clear outer time limit/duration.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black">I hope this is a useful background to keep in mind when we are considering tolling. Bearing all of this in mind, perhaps the simplest approach in order to toll for
the time taken by these other accountability mechanisms, if the group agree this is appropriate, would be to have the time to bring an IRP start to run from the publication of the final decision on any of these mechanisms, where brought, or, in the case of
CEP, the date that one party notifies the other in writing that they consider the CEP is at an end:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
