ICANN IRP Background

ICANN's IRP is a form of arbitration, which provides for independent
third-party review of ICANN actions alleged by an affected party to be
inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. The IRP is an
essential accountability mechanism to hold the ICANN Board and organization
accountable, and the seating of a Standing Panel to hear these claims is an
important component to achieve consistent, binding outcomes. ICANN
committed through its Bylaws that the ICANN community has a role in
identifying the final composition of the Standing Panel slate. Additional
information on the IRP Standing Panel is available here.
