Hi,

Apologies for getting to this one this late before the meeting.  


Re; Item 6 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) Motion Action Items 
    from March 26

The Board is scheduled to vote on the council's motion on the RAA
amaendments on 23 April.  In the meantime we still need to get the WGs
going.

There were two proposed in our motion:

> agreed to convene two groups of representatives from the GNSO
> Community within 30 days of Board approval to: 1) draft a registrant
> rights charter; and 2) identify further amendments to the RAA on which
> further action may be desirable and provide its advice to the Council
> and ICANN staff no later than 31 July 2009. 
> 

At our last meeting there was a suggestion that we should start with 1
WG and then create a second if required.  I offered to start the ball
rolling by writing up a description of the proposed charter items for a
WG that could initiate the discussions.


----

1. Registrar community to produce a list of existing registrant rights 
(this was already mentioned at the last meeting)

2. WG to define a mechanism by which the community can be brought into
the discussion of the rights identified by the Registrars and recommend
means to the GNSO council by which these can be used to develop a
registrant rights charter.

3. WG to define specific areas in which further amendments to the  RAA
could be developed.  

4. WG to engage in consultation with the ICANN legal staff  to
differentiate between prospective amendment areas that could be made via
a PDP process and those prospective amendment areas that would require a
negotiation, or other, process.

5. WG to make a set of proposals, to be vetted among the constituencies
and in a community public comment,  on requested issues reports and on
other processes to be initiated.   A Final Proposal, including
appropriate response to public comment, should be available for review
by the council no later then 31 July 2009.

----

The charter items should be discussed by a drafting team on the list
created for this WG and incorporated into the a charter following the
process currently being used by other GNSO WGs and following the interim
WG methods.

The charter should be brought to the GNSO council for a vote at its next
meeting.  At that time a council liaison to the group could be approved
and a chair can be confirmed.
