Hi All,<br>
This is a new idea, and it raises some important issues which we would
be happy to discuss in an additional call, or online.<br>
We have proposed a slight modification to this language in our comments.<br>
Best,<br>
Kathy<br>

<div>Dear All:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>After review by IPC leadership, we recommend two points of
clarification on the URS report.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First, with respect to de novo appeal, we suggest a clarifying
amendment to avoid confusion and more accurately reflect the group's
position. Paul McGrady has separately submitted a proposed change of
language on this point. See 8.2 in his revision.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>The intended appeal involves de novo review of the
record considered by the Examiner.</strong> This means the Appeal
panel reviews the existing evidence without any evidentiary or
procedural deference to the initial Examiner. This is in contrast to
the appeal to an ombudsmen proposed by the IRT, which involved review
for abuse of discretion.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The goal is to prevent gaming of the system by having a bad
faith registrant create a temporary sham site and submit new evidence
at the appeal stage. Good faith registrants who answer late are
protected because have a de novo hearing at the examiner stage and are
able to submit evidence at that time. Any resulting appeal, as in the
case with U.S. Court appeals (and in most other jurisdictions) is based
on the existing record without submission of additional evidence.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Second, with respect to the time to answer, 5.1, there is only
unanimous consent if the 20 day time to answer is linked to a prompt
decision within 3 to 5 days. Please reflect this point in the report
by adding the phrase and the end of the sentence in 5.1:</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong> "if decision is rendered in an expedited basis within 3
- 5 days)".</strong> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Otherwise, the IPC would not agree with the 20 day timing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cordially,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Mark Partridge</div>
