<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">Thanks to Malcolm, Mike and Kavouss for their recent comments.<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"><b><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Lack of requisite skill/experience<o:p></o:p></span></b></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">During our call last week we again discussed the strawperson on IRP Panel selection, and again largely focussed on the situation where the Standing Panel might lack “<span style="color:#333333;background:white">the
requisite diversity of skill and experience needed for the particular IRP proceeding” (para 3 in the Strawperson), as envisaged in the Bylaws Section 4.3(k)(ii). </span>If you were unable to join the call I encourage you to listen to the recording or review
the transcript. <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">Based on the input from participants on the call, I would say that most are opposed to building a system for considering claims by either of the IRP parties that the Standing Panel lacks
<span style="color:#333333;background:white">the requisite diversity of skill and experience needed for the particular IRP proceeding (and thus seeking to select panelist(s) from
</span>outside of the Standing Panel). Instead, the majority of participants on the call seemed to favour that any consideration of lack of Standing Panel capacity, whether in terms of panelist availability or requisite panelist diversity of skill/experience
for a particular case, should be a matter for the Standing Panel alone. Points made included:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In many (but not all) cases, a claimant who is not satisfied with the Standing Panel is not bound to use the IRP, but can take their claim elsewhere, such as to Court;<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The issue is not about panelist expertise in a particular subject matter, but whether they have the capacity, skill and experience to hear and determine disputes.
<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If you go to court you do not get to select your judge, and judges routinely hear cases outside of the area of their subject-matter expertise – their role is as an
impartial neutral, able to weigh the evidence and form a sound judgment, and to manage the case with efficiency, lack of delay, etc. The same is the case for an IRP panelist<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">If the IRP Panel requires specific subject-matter expertise, there is provision to allow for the appointment of expert(s)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo4"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">This situation should arise very rarely, therefore, and it is matter for the Standing Panel to manage rather than building a complex process for adjudicating such
concerns raised by parties.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ol>
<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">Since a number of our members were unable to join the call, could you please share further views on this before our next call. If there is in fact support for building a process to handle skill
and experience concerns raised by parties, please provide your concrete suggestions for how to address this in our Rule 3.
<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"><b><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Other provisions in the Rule 3 Strawperson<o:p></o:p></span></b></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 don’t see any suggestions in the Google Doc regarding the rest of the Strawperson. This has been out for review and input now for a few weeks. We need to make progress, and it’s our joint responsibility
to develop solutions. There were comments expressed on our last call that the process for where the Standing Panel lacks capacity (i.e. is too busy) presupposes that there would be
<u>no</u> IRP Panellists drawn from the Standing Panel, whereas it might be that there simply isn’t capacity to find 3 Panelists. If this is a concern, or there are any other concerns with the Rule 3 text, please make concrete proposals by 1700 UTC on Monday
so that we all have some opportunity to review before our call on Tuesday. Absent this I will be assuming there are no objections to the rest of the text (aside for the skill/experience issue referred to above).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I don’t have anything much to add to what I hope was a useful discussion on Susan’s straw man. For my part it seems a good suggestion, subject to any points that may have been raised
in my absence.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">However, I would add one word of caution on finer detail for when it comes to implementing this. Susan’s proposal includes the following statement:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">“The Emergency Panelist role will be expanded to allow Emergency Panelists to make determinations on procedural matters such as this.”<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">While I have no objection to the proposal, the Emergency Panelist is intended as an exceptional position, with a narrowly defined role. The three member panel should be the norm.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I would not want the elaboration of more responsibilities for the Emergency Panelist such as this to create a sense that the role was defined only by example, rather than exhaustively,
and that therefore the Emergency Panelist could acquire more powers over time not previously contemplated because each addition seemed somewhat similar to those that came before, so as to erode the use of the three member panel.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">During our last call, we spent our time largely focussed on the situation where the Standing Panel might lack “<span style="color:#333333;background:white">the requisite diversity
of skill and experience needed for the particular IRP proceeding”, as envisaged in the Bylaws Section 4.3(k)(ii). Frm that discussion, I think the key points raised were as follows:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:#333333;background:white"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
Any rules we set should be light-touch. Need to allow the panel to have some procedural freedom, which has worked will to date;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
The Standing Panel concept is an important one under the Bylaws, so any exception to this should be narrow and exceptional;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
There is a need to clarify the mechanism to address the situation where the Standing Panel lacks the diversity of skill and experience. Whilst many felt that this decision needs to rest with the Standing Panel (or its Chair), there was also support for finding
a balance, since the parties may, in practice want to raise this as a concern;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
Care is needed not to invite actions/decisions from the full Standing Panel which might then have the effect of excluding them all from subsequently acting on the case;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
The Bylaws also allow for an IRP Panel to seek expert input;<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2">
A determination on whether there is a lack of the requisite diversity of skill and expertise could be made by:<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<ul type="disc">
<ul type="circle">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2">
Full Standing Panel (risk that all are then conflicted from serving on the IRP Panel for the substantive dispute)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2">
Chair of the Standing Panel (risk that the Chair then is excluded from serving on the IRP Panel in such cases)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2">
Emergency Panelist (likely requires some expansion of this role; currently only seems to cover interim relief)<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo2">
Allow the Standing Panel to set their own process<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Proposed way forward:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
The Standing Panel may, of its own volition and acting through the Chair of the Standing Panel, conclude that it lacks the
<span style="color:#333333;background:white">requisite diversity of skill and experience in the Standing Panel for a particular case. They would need to identify the proposed path forward, for example that both parties select an IRP Panelist from the Standing
Panel and then the third IRP Panelist is selected from outside the Standing Panel, or that all IRP Panelists are selected from Outside the Standing Panel</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
A party can raise a concern that there is a lack of the <span style="color:#333333;background:white">
requisite diversity of skill and experience in the Standing Panel for the particular case, which they would do at the time of IRP Panelist selection, i.e. before the 3-person IRP Panel is appointed.
</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
Where raised by a party, an Emergency Panelist will be appointed to from within the Standing Panel to make the determination, unless and until the Standing Panel has set their own procedure for handling such a situation.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">
The Emergency Panelist role will be expanded to allow Emergency Panelists to make determinations on procedural matters such as this. The expectation is that Standing Panelists will take it in turns to serve as n Emergency Panelist, but this will be a matter
of Standing Panel procedure for the Standing Panel to decide.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
