["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I believe that was the intent, and I don't blieve the NCUC
disagrees with that. Bill and Kristina are discussing now.

The latest version of the language is preferred by the BC, as the first
version could be read as limiting wrt topics of next discussion. I
believe
our collective intent was to open discussion on any topic within the
RAA,
not just topics that are subject of current proposed amendments, right?

Hi Tim,

This is news to us. NCUC much prefers the language we agreed on

Thought I should point out that the only change from the
version that

was circulated Sunday afternoon is in the last paragraph of
the resolve.


The Sunday afternoon version read:


Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,
the GNSO

Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss the amendments
further and

identify those that the community believes could be further
revised

through PDP processes or through additional changes to the
RAA that may

not fall within scope of a formal PDP process. The Drafting
Team should

endeavor to provide its advice to the Council and ICANN
staff no later

then July 31, 2009.


It has been changed to:


Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,

The Drafting Team should endeavor to provide its advice to

The attached, also copied below, is the final version of the
motion many

of us have worked on. It reflects all the changes that we've
discussed.

Not completely sure of the best way to frame it for voting,
but would

like to suggest that we consider it the only motion on this
subject that

we vote on tomorrow.

----------------

Whereas, the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) has not
been

amended since May 2001, and ICANN has undertaken a lengthy
consultative

process related to amending the RAA, including several
public comment

periods and consultations;


Whereas, the proposed changes to the RAA include important
compliance

and enforcement tools for ICANN; The Council wishes to
approve the set

of proposed amendments as quickly as possible so that the
ICANN Board

may review them, and if approved then implement them as
quickly as

possible; and


Whereas,


The Council would like to proceed on the drafting of a
charter

identifying registrant rights that registrars would be
obliged to link

to, as contemplated in the set of amendments;


The Council would like a specific process and timeline to
move forward

with additional potential amendments to the RAA; and


The Registrar Constituency is supportive of these efforts
and is willing

to participate on a good faith basis on anticipated next
steps.


Resolved:


The GNSO Council supports the RAA amendments as documented
in


http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/current-list-proposed-raa-amendments-16dec08.pd
f
<http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/current-list-proposed-raa-amendments-16dec08.p
df> 

and recommends to the Board that they be adopted at its
meeting of March

6, 2009;


Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,

representatives from the GNSO community and the ALAC shall
be identified

to participate in drafting a registrant rights charter, as
contemplated

by the amendments and the current GNSO Council discussions,
with support

from ICANN staff. A draft charter shall be completed no
later then July

31; and


Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,
the GNSO

Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss further
amendments to the

RAA.

The Drafting Team should endeavor to provide its advice to
the Council

and

ICANN staff no later then July 31, 2009.
