Summary

Text
Staff then reported on the Interim Report and Draft Principles of the Advisory Committee on Independent Review (attached as Exhibit D hereto), an Addendum to the Interim Report (attached as Exhibit E hereto) and public commentary received. The key issue is the power of the independent review panel called for in the recommendation. Since no Committee consensus position could be reached, the Committee proposed three options. In addition to the power to (i) declare whether an action or inaction of the ICANN Board was contrary to the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws, (ii) request additional written submissions from the claimant, the Board, the Supporting Organizations, or from other parties, and (iii) recommend that the ICANN Board stay any action or decision until such time as the Board reviews and acts upon the opinions of the IRP, the panel might be empowered to: (a) immediately stay enforcement or execution of the contested decision of the Board; (b) stay enforcement or execution of the contested decision of the Board only if the Board has failed to act on the IRP's determination within 14 days; or (c) require the Board to act on the IRP's determination at its next meeting or within 30 days, whichever is sooner.
Summary
Board accepts draft principles relating to the creation of a structure for independent third party review of decisions of the ICANN Board.
