RE: [soac-mapo] Draft recommendation on using a DRSP

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wasn't actually suggesting a name change because the term dispute
resolution process applies for other processes in the DAG.  I was just
trying to point out that that process provides expert advice to the
board.

I agree with Chuck that it is more accurately described as "expert
advice to the board" rather than a "dispute resolution process" and so
the former is better terminology to use for this recommendation.

 

Thanks,

Robin

Evan,

 

It seems to me that the way that the dispute process in AGv4 is
currently designed would result in providing expert advice to the Board.
Calling it dispute resolution makes it sound like a mediation process
but I don't think that would be accurate in terms of my understanding of
the proposed process.

As requested:

Draft recommendation ###

 

There should be a DRSP charged with making a recommendation on an
objection.

The DRSP should be appointed by the Board.

As in all other areas of ICANN policy the Board will ultimately decide
whether to adopt or reject the recommendation of the DRSP.



Just a nit but... if the purpose of this recommendation is to provide
third-party expert advice to the Board, why are we still referring to it
as a DSRP?

Such a group is being asked to provide guidance on the legitimacy of
objections, not mediate/resolve between applicant and objectors. Or is
it? Let's be clear on the intent.

Also, this group may or may not be a paid group of experts; the
reference to "service provider" still connotes the kind of outsourcing
that formed a large part of my objection to the original process.
