It would be a very good use of our time with the Board to ask them how they intend to implement the new provision of the ICANN Bylaws where ICANN commits to developing procedures / policies / proposals to enable nonprofits and resource challenged groups and individuals to access the new IRP. 

This appears to be a long forgotten portion of the new Bylaws. The Board members I've spoken to don't know it exists. By formally bringing this up as a SG this would allow us both to raise the issue for discussion but also to follow up and ensure something is done for our Members and ourselves (this is how the NCSG, NPOC and the NCUC would do an IRP as ours would generally not be done through the community) in this regard. The IRP is perhaps the most important part of the accountability reforms and we and our members need to be able to access it.
