Is there ambiguity regarding a standing panel’s ability to ‘adjudicate’ a stay of ICANN action or just to ‘recommend’ a stay? See Bylaws 4.3(o) and 4.3(p). If there is ambiguity, is there anything within our remit to help clarify?

Finally, with respect to the Rule 4 (Time for Filing) issue that we are currently discussing, should we clarify that the rule we eventually develop is either an affirmative defense that ICANN can raise, or not, as it sees fit or, alternatively, a firm matter
of standing that the panel should invoke on its own without exemption, subject only to the savings language that Sam and Liz are working on?<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
