[Community-Discuss] NRO MoU section 9. Advisory Appeals Process (was: ICANN ( NRO ) vs LARUS (NRA))

[Owen DeLong]

Sylvain, I think you missed some very key points in this…

I have added emphasis and separated the relevant parts to help you…



> 

> 9. Advisory Appeals Process

> The NRO shall establish an NRO Advisory Appeals Panel, with one representative from each RIR region, but whose members shall not be employees or Board members of the RIRs. Advisory Appeals Panel members shall be knowledgeable members of the Internet community proposed for this role by the NRO Executive Council,

> 



> for the purpose of hearing complaints relating to failure on the part of an RIR, the NRO or an NRO suborganization to follow its documented policy development process concerning global IP number resource policies.

> 



> The panel shall not decide on the merit(s), or lack thereof regarding the underlying policies,

> 



> but may provide a written report to the Executive Council indicating the Advisory Appeals Panel’s evaluation of the complaint.

> 

> The Advisory Appeals Panel shall adopt such policies and procedures as are necessary to make it accessible and open, transparent and documented. These policies and procedures should include, but are not limited to, voluntary or requested recusal of representatives, procedures for reporting to the Executive Council, and procedures to address any allegation of fraudulent or dishonest conduct by representatives.

> 

> The Advisory Appeals Panel, at its sole discretion, may dismiss frivolous, repetitive or nuisance complaints without further review.

> 



> The Advisory Appeals Panel decision is intended to serve as a persuasive advisory opinion, and it provides no basis for legal action in any jurisdiction.

> 

As you can see, this is for those who have a grievance or belief that a policy development process was not followed regarding GLOBAL IP NUMBER RESOURCE POLICIES, not individual RIR policies.

I’m not aware of any such controversy at this time. To the best of my knowledge, the global PDP hasn’t been invoked for several years.
