Thanks Julie. I'm happy with that. Saves lots of effort all round to use
an existing procedure. 

 

Very best,

Subject: [gnso-osc-csg] Action Item: Task 1, Subtask 1 Section 2f --
Response from ICANN Legal

 

Dear Work Team members,

With respect to Action Item 1 from last Friday's call, we have consulted
with ICANN legal staff seeking guidance concerning the language for
Section 2 paragraph f and have received a response and suggested
language from Dan Halloran and Samantha Eisner.  

Here is the original language:

"f. In case of rejection of an application or a dispute, the applicant
shall have recourse of appeal to a neutral third party. The GROUP shall
SELECT such a neutral third party in consultation with ICANN/GNSO
{???}."

Here is Samantha's response:
---------------- begin response ------------------------
"We consulted with John, and agree that the proper reference here is to
the Office of the Ombudsman.  The Ombudsman is a neutral and has
jurisdiction over allegations of unfair treatment by ICANN constituent
bodies.   I recommend that to facilitate this, the language of the
recommendation be changed to:

"f.    In case of unfair treatment resulting in the rejection of an
application or a dispute, the applicant may lodge a complaint with the
ICANN Ombudsman.  The process for lodging a complaint with the Ombudsman
is set forth in Article V of the ICANN Bylaws and in the Ombudsman
Framework, available at 
http://www.icann.org/ombudsman/documents/ombudsman-framework-26mar09-en.
pdf. "
---------------- end response -----------------

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Julie
