RE: [council] ICANN Board meeting agenda - 23 April 2009

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was the primary threat under which most of the GNSO Council members
agreed to support the RAA amendments motion, rather than debate the
substance of the amendments.  Is there some reason why a Board vote appears
not possible this time, and if so when it is likely to happen?

To strengthen Kristina's remarks, let me add that the RAA is on the agenda
as an "informational item". A decision on it was deferred at the Mexico City
Board meeting, pending a 30 day comment period. The period is now over and
the comments (according to the staff summary) supported adoption "the sooner
the better". The Board itself in Mexico 

committed "to act on approval of the amendments at the earliest opportunity"
following this public comment period.

The longer we wait, the fewer registrars will be covered automatically and
ICANN will have to pay them to adopt the new RAA.

        Thanks, Bruce.
        
        I see that the RAA Amendments aren't an agenda item. Given that the
        public comment period closed on 6 April and the majority of comments
        supported the amendments and the Board's prompt action on them, do
you
        know why there's no agenda item (and, if not, who may be able to
answer
        that question)?
