<div> </div>
<div>Thanks very much for this blog post. In our rush to meet deadlines I'm not sure we thought through clearly enough some of the specifics of our accountability mechanisms. We've changed the nature of the IRP from being an arbitration device to being a quasi-constututional court. Yet in areas like statutes of limitations we've kept rules more applicable to commercial arbitration proceedings than to the new broadened remit of the IRP.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>An extraordinarily well done and important blog post. Public comments are due on 25 January for the IRP Supplemental Procedures report. Hopefully we can get multiple comments submitted by NCSG members.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind Regards,</div>
<div> </div>

<div> </div>
This blog post takes a seemingly legalistic and obscure set of rules and shows how it is very important for the ICANN accountability reforms. My comments are intended to help NCSG develop public comments on the IRP rules, hope people can follow up. We still have time to fix the problem if we act. http://www.internetgovernance.org/2017/01/07/putting-your-rights-on-the-clock-the-irp-supplementary-rules/ Dr. Milton L Mueller Professor, School of Public Policy Georgia Institute of Technology Internet Governance Project http://internetgovernance.org/ _______________________________________________ Ncuc-discuss mailing list Ncuc-discuss@lists.ncuc.org http://lists.ncuc.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ncuc-discuss</div></div></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
