[registrars] Constituency Issues
Registrars: There are three pending issues that require the Constituency's attention: 1. I circulated in November the attached proposal to enable the RC to approve a Fast Track Motion in certain limited circumstances. The proposed amendment to our Rules of Procedure is pending and we hope to have this issue voted on in February, so it is in place by the Lisbon Meeting. Please review the motion and provide any comments as soon as practicable. 2. Bruce recently circulated the attached response to the London School of Economics report related to the GNSO review. Please review the draft and provide any comments to Bruce's draft. We need to turn it around rather quickly, so we can hopefully vote on it prior to the Lisbon meeting. 3. Finally, having finished the Rules of Procedure review, we now are going to review the RC Bylaws http://www.icann-registrars.org/docs/gnso-rc-bylaws.doc. We'd like to do it in two phases. First, we'd like to make just a small handful of important changes quickly, and then engage in a more thorough review taking into account the Board's reaction to potential changes to the GNSO. Rob Hall has agreed to chair this Bylaws Committee. Please let Rob or me know if you would like to serve on the Committee. Additionally, to the extent anyone has any recommended changes to the Bylaws that should be made soon, please submit such proposals to the list. As you know, ICANN is holding a North American Registrar/Registry Regional Gathering in Los Angeles about 10 days from now. It also is planning regional gatherings in Asia in July and in Europe in December. While we are not holding an official Registrars Constituency meeting as part of this upcoming regional event, we thought that in order to advance the ball somewhat and not lose the opportunity of having a number of registrars in the same room, we would have some unofficial discussions (separate and apart from ICANN's agenda) on these issues. Of course, online discourse also would be very beneficial and appreciated. DirectI/Skenzo is sponsoring the registrar lunch on January 30, and has graciously agreed to permit us the opportunity to use that time to have an informal discussion on these issues. Therefore, if you can, please provide your comments and thoughts by the 30th. We will provide updates of any discussions online too. Thanks. Jon Attachment:
