The Committee of the Board on Reconsideration is responsible for handling requests for reconsideration of ICANN Board and staff actions. Consisting of five Directors, the Reconsideration Committee has the authority to investigate and evaluate requests for reconsideration and to make recommendations to the Board of Directors, which ultimately determines how to resolve such requests.
Background. Until 15 December 2002, ICANN's reconsideration policy operated under a Reconsideration Policy that was adopted by the ICANN Board, after public notice and comment, on 4 March 1999.
During 2002, ICANN underwent a reform process, resulting in adoption of New Bylaws on 31 October 2002. Article IV, Section 2, of the New Bylaws sets forth new reconsideration procedures. The transition to those new procedures began on 15 December 2002.
Members of the Committee. The Members of the Reconsideration Committee are Susan Crawford, Demi Getschko, Dennis Jennings, Rita Rodin (Chair), and Jean-Jacques Subrenat.
How to file a request for reconsideration. Requests for reconsideration must contain at least the following information:
a. name, address, and contact information for the requesting party, including postal and e-mail addresses;
b. the specific action or inaction of ICANN for which review or reconsideration is sought;
c. the date of the action or inaction;
d. the manner by which the requesting party will be affected by the action or inaction;
e. the extent to which, in the opinion of the party submitting the Request for Reconsideration, the action or inaction complained of adversely affects others;
f. whether a temporary stay of any action complained of is requested, and if so, the harms that will result if the action is not stayed;
g. in the case of staff action or inaction, a detailed explanation of the facts as presented to the staff and the reasons why the staff's action or inaction was inconsistent with established ICANN policy(ies);
h. in the case of Board action or inaction, a detailed explanation of the material information not considered by the Board and, if the information was not presented to the Board, the reasons the party submitting the request did not submit it to the Board before it acted or failed to act;
i. what specific steps the requesting party asks ICANN to take-i.e., whether and how the action should be reversed, cancelled, or modified, or what specific action should be taken;
j. the grounds on which the requested action should be taken; and
k. any documents the requesting party wishes to submit in support of its request.
The above information must be submitted by e-mail to reconsider@icann.org.Requests will be publicly posted.
