[council] RE: ICANN, RySG Propose Amendment to New gTLD Registry Agreement

[Phil Corwin <psc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Question:

I have not yet reviewed the proposed amendments to judge how consequential they 
are.

However, how does this negotiation process between the RySG and ICANN staff 
relate to the work of the Subsequent Procedures WG?

Thanks in the advance for feedback,

Best, Philip

ICANN, RySG Propose Amendment to New gTLD Registry Agreement

ICANN today issued for public comment a proposed amendment to the base New gTLD

Comment 
now<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/proposed-amend-new-gtld-agreement-2016-05-31-en>.

The amendment proposed today reflects over 18 months of negotiations between 
representatives of ICANN and the Registries Stakeholder Group (RySG). These 
negotiations were conducted pursuant to Section 7.7 of the base agreement. The 
RySG initiated the process. Following the conclusion of the public comment 
period, ICANN and the RySG working group for these negotiations will consider 
the comments and submit the proposed final version of the amendment for 
approval by registry operators and the ICANN board (see Section 7.6 of the 
registry agreement). If these approvals are obtained, the amendment will become 
effective upon 60 days notice from ICANN to the registry operators.
