<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your email. I did not realize that there was a disagreement within the drafting team (you and Elsa) on the point concerning the removal of WIPO, prior to her request to remove it, and the finalization of the comment. I will ask
staff to set up a call among the leadership team and the two of you for next week so we can try to resolve this. Please watch for a doodle poll. We have also notified Samantha Eisner that we may need to retract the current statement and will provide her an
update next week. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">All:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">Thank you for reviewing the proposed text and for the feedback presented. However, I am compelled to formally object to the proposal to remove WIPO as an expert due to a conflict of interest. To my
knowledge, this conflict has never been adequately explained or justified; nor has it been discussed (neither with nor without the involvement of the parties concerned).
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">I had objected to this change before the text was submitted and that objection went unheeded. As we are a working group of 2 and there is an absence of consensus (in accordance with the GNSO Operating
Procedures), the appropriate course of action is for Council to discuss and determine the disposition of the question.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">So far, I have only read a vague suggestion of ‘removing those [institutions] with conflict of interest given the nature of an IRP.’ This is a rather serious accusation that has no apparent basis (and
yet has a material impact)<a name="m_3264695697895232677__GoBack"></a>. I would therefore urge caution in removing a source that is clearly a world expert in this area. Compounding the matter, I am not aware of anyone following up on this suggestion at this point. No organisation
was identified as having a ‘conflict of interest given the nature of an IRP.’ No explanation has been given as to the existence of an actual conflict of interest. Furthermore, it is unclear what was meant by ‘the nature of an IRP’ in this context?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">Therefore, I see no justification in removing a single dispute resolution provider like WIPO from the list of institutions that may be consulted with a view to preparing a standing panel. WIPO is an
internationally-recognized institution which duly reports to its Member States (its annual Assemblies are in fact occurring this week), has neutrally and impartially operated the UDRP (covering 45,000 cases) for more than twenty (20) years now to the benefit
of all ICANN stakeholders, which is trusted by over seventy-five (75) national registries for their policy and case expertise, and which has moreover led the way for ICANN in managing the LRO pre-delegation disputes process. Furthermore, I see no basis for
ICANN staff to decide unilaterally to remove a provider from the list in a communication that is supposed to be prepared by the GNSO Council and for which I hold leadership responsibilities.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">In order to rectify this situation, I see two options:

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt">The objection could be withdrawn.<u></u><u></u></span></li></ol>

<p class="MsoNormal">P.S.: <span lang="EN-GB" style="color:black">That said, I would suggest an additional change: that the GNSO Council consider removing the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) from the list, albeit for reasons unrelated to the subject above.
To my knowledge, ICANN has not previously engaged with the PCA. Asking them to assist now may seem inappropriate unless we can provide compelling reasons to the contrary. As far as I am aware, ICANN has not had any intention to rely on PCA’s services, nor
has it such intention for the future. During the last council meeting, I did make this suggestion, but I am not aware of any subsequent actions.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
