Furthermore, Fowlie requested the ICANN Ombudsman to compel IRT to release its archived mailing list, audio recordings and transcripts of all its teleconferences and face-to-face meetings and to release an interest disclosure statements for all of its members. If IRT fails to follow the ICANN Bylaws, Fowlie recommended that the internet governing body must instantly withdraw all financial and staff support to IRT and inform the team's status has been cancelled due to its failure to implement fairness and transparency in its operations, which is one of the core values of ICANN.<ref>
