[registrars] Final Group for studying .NET RRA

["Bhavin Turakhia" <bhavin.t@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Pursuant to my earlier email we have the following group of people who
within the next 2 weeks should draft a final statement mutually amongst
themselves about the modifications in the .NET RRA that are of concern -

* Bhavin Turakhia
* Bruce Tonkin
* John Nevett
* Paul Stahura
* Jordynn Buchanan
* Tim Ruiz
* Jennifer A. Ross-Carrière
* Ross Rader
* Thomas Keller

Starting steps:

* We need to assign someone to Chair the group. I propose Jordynn if he is
willing and everyone else is fine with it. Anyone else may volunteer. It
will be the responsibility of the Chair of this group to ensure that the
discussions are steering towards creating one single set of comments. Note:
We are not looking out for consensus, but a complete list of all comments.
It is not necessary for all memebers of this group to agree on every
comment. It is important however that every comment or concern felt is
listed out in a single document.

* Ross needs to give us a mailing list which we can use to carry out the
discussion

Lets roll

Bhavin

Subject: [registrars] Very important: Forming a group for comments on .NET
RRA


Hi everyone,

As mentioned in the Luxembourg conference, by Vint, the .NET RRA (Registry
Registrar Agreement) is still open for public comment until Sep 1 2005,
giving us 1 month.

Instead of having people provide random comments I would much rather have a
coordinated exercise where all of us as Registrars can offer atleast to some
degree a combined feedback on the Agreement.

I propose we form a group amongst us who studies the .NET RRA. The rest of
us can then send our notes and comments to this group and we may then make a
combined statement. Offcourse registrars are free to make independent
comments apart from this anyways. However any important aspects should be
sent as a combined statement from all registrars.

I need volunteers who wish to take up this task and who will within the next
10-15 days present differences between the orignal RRA and this new one, as
well as highlight areas of concerns and comments.

Can I get a show of hands on people interested

Thanks
Bhavin

Subject: Important Notice - Registrar Advisory Regarding the .net
Registry-Registrar Agreement ("RRA")

Dear Registrar:

The purpose of this advisory is to inform all Registrars of .net domain
names of the expected schedule and procedure for transitioning from the
current version of the RRA to the new standard RRA for .net.  

During the ICANN Board Meeting held in Luxembourg, ICANN extended the period
for providing input concerning the .net RRA to September 1, 2005. Registrars
therefore should provide any input to ICANN by that date. Following the end
of this period, on September 15, 2005, VeriSign plans to distribute to all
.net Registrars the final RRA that will replace the existing RRA in
accordance with applicable requirements. 
  
The .net agreement is posted for comments and can be found on the ICANN
website at http://www.icann.org/tlds/agreements/net.

Regards,

Raynor Dahlquist
