[ALAC] Selection Process for Bylaws IRP Standing Panel

[Maureen Hilyard]

Dear all

In May, David sent the following request to SO-AC Chairs which I forwarded
to this ALAC group seeking some opinion and/or advice on how ICANN might
best proceed with establishing this standing panel.

Greg currently represents the ALAC on the IRP-IOT which is being
recommended as one group that could be additionally assigned this role.
Perhaps Greg could comment and make a recommendation based on his knowledge
of the requirements of this new panel and what is being done on the current
IRP-IOT.

Dear SO/AC Chairs :



I am reaching out to see how we can best help you with forming this
representative group. Understanding the level of work already underway in
the community, we are suggesting that one way forward might be to leverage
an existing community group.



As you may know, one of the features of the updated Independent Review
Process (IRP) under the new Bylaws is the establishment of a standing
panel from
which panelists shall be selected to preside over each IRP dispute.  The
Bylaws specify that “ICANN shall, in consultation with the Supporting
Organizations [SOs] and Advisory Committees [ACs], initiate a four-step
process to establish the Standing Panel…” (Bylaws, Art. 4, Sec.
4.3(j).)  Notably, the SOs and ACs must collectively agree on a single
proposed standing panel slate to be submitted to the ICANN Board for
approval as part of the four-step process.



 We’ve received feedback from many SOs and ACs [secure-web.cisco.com]

There
is strong support for the SOs and ACs to further their selection effort of
the Standing Panel through a small representative group, and ICANN org sees
this as an important component to getting the Standing Panel established.



*In looking at the groups that are already active, one potential way to
proceed is to leverage the existence of the IRP Implementation Oversight
Team (IRP-IOT). *



The IRP-IOT, which you helped repopulate, is already comprised of people
that are well qualified in issues relating to ICANN, international
arbitration and dispute resolution and who are likely to have the skill
sets that would be needed to lead the community work on this important
endeavor. If this is a potential way forward, we could quickly work with
you to explore how to appropriately do this work along with the other
work underway
in the IRP-IOT.



*We are also ready to support the community in forming a new, separate
representative group to do this work.*



 From the ICANN org side, we’re available to support the community to
identify and get this representative group up and running so that the panel
selection process can move forward – including identification of an expert
to further support and coordinate the community work – in time to
start work when
the deadline for the submission of expressions interest to serve on the
Standing Panel expires on 31 July.



Let us know how we can help you move this work along.



Best regards,

David
