In advance of the Costa Rica meeting, ICANN and the Registrar Negotiation Team 
have prepared a summary of the 
negotiations<http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/raa-negotiations-progress-report-01mar12-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 117 KB] on the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA). After the Board 
directed ICANN and the 
Registrars<http://www.icann.org/en/groups/board/documents/resolutions-28oct11-en.htm#7>
 to proceed into negotiations regarding recommendations by law 
enforcement<http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/raa/raa-law-enforcement-recommendations-01mar12-en.pdf>
 [PDF, 111 KB] and recommendations from the GNSO, negotiations proceeded at a 
brisk pace, with 13 negotiation sessions held to date. There are many topics 
where ICANN and the Registrar Negotiation Team are close to agreement on 
language, and even more topics where there is agreement in principle. Because 
of the comprehensive nature of the amendments, it is expected that all 
negotiated language will be posted as a unified document after further 
negotiation.

The summary

 [PDF, 117 KB] released today provides information on nearly all of the items 
that have been raised in the negotiations, and the current status of agreement 
on those issues.
