<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thank you Susan. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I’m not sure whether that is intended as an internal record, or an conclusion to be published.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If it is internal, then I think it is fine as regards RFR (but see below re CEP).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If it is intended to be published, I think the same thing could be written more succinctly:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">“If a Claimant has not passed the Deadline for Filing on the date when they file an RFR but has expired or has fewer than 30 days left to expire on the day the RFR publishes its conclusion, then
the Claimant may file a Dispute in the IRP at any time until 30 days after the RFR published its conclusion. This rule shall take precedence over any earlier Deadline for Filing in these rules.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">With regard to including CEP in this, was that concluded and agreed upon at the last meeting (which I unfortunately missed), or is it still open for discussion?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Because I think including the CEP is questionable. The rules strongly pressure a claimant to agree to a CEP before any IRP (on pain of paying ICANN’s legal costs if they refuse), even if there is
a clearly defined dispute with no possibility of compromise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If we adopt this rule, the following unintended incentives will apply:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">ICANN will have an incentive to spin out pointless CEPs so as to run the clock down for the claimant, diminishing their ability to prepare
their best case. Or, at least, it will have no incentive to agree to abandon a pointless CEP promptly;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The Claimant, being distracted from working on developing their statement of claim by having to attend to the CEP, will have an incentive to
conclude the CEP prematurely so that they can concentrate on producing the most persuasive argument they can muster. This will discourage them from investing time and effort in a CEP that might (if successful) have resulted in narrowing the issues to be adjudicated,
for the benefit of all.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Neither of these incentives are in the interests of a fair and efficient process.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">I would therefore suggest that FAT is not appropriate in the context of CEP: time in CEP should instead be tolled. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
