Background on ICANN's IRP

ICANN's IRP is a form of arbitration, which provides for independent third-party review of ICANN actions alleged by an affected party to be inconsistent with the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. The IRP is an essential accountability mechanism to hold the ICANN Board and org accountable, and the seating of a Standing Panel to hear these claims is an important component to achieve consistent, binding outcomes.

ICANN committed through its Bylaws that the ICANN community has a role in identifying the final composition of the Standing Panel slate. ICANN org sought input from the Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committees (ACs) on how the community can participate in the process, and the summary of inputs and next steps is available here. ICANN org will follow up through the SOs and ACs shortly to continue the community coordination work.
