RE: [council] RAA Motion

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your work on this, Chuck.  Because I do not agree that "there
is strong support for the agreed-to amendments" across the entire ICANN
community, I suggest that that language be removed or, alternatively,
revised to indicate the segments of the community within which there is
strong support.

        Subject: [council] RAA Motion

for consideration of the Council in our 18 Dec meeting.

        RAA Motion for GNSO Council - 11 Dec 08

         

        Whereas:

         

        *       ICANN has undertaken a lengthy consultative process
related to amending the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). 
        *       In response to community input via that process, ICANN
Staff and the Registrars Constituency agreed on a set of proposed
amendments to the Registry Registrar Agreement (RAA). 
        *       There is strong support for those agreed-to amendments,
albeit many have suggested that the amendments should go further. 
        *       The current terms in the RAA date back to 1999 and many
have needed revision for years.

         

        Resolve:

         

        *       The GNSO Council asks Staff to work with registrars and
the Council to define the most expeditious process for implementing the
agreed-to proposed amendments to the RAA as soon as possible. 
        *       The GNSO Council will form a drafting team to review the
superset of proposed RAA issues and amendments not addressed in the
presently proposed and agreed-to amendments and develop a request for an
Issues Report, including clear identification of the policy issues that
are involved.
