[council] RAA Motion

RAA Motion for GNSO Council – 11 Dec 08

Whereas:

ICANN has undertaken a lengthy consultative process related to amending the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA).
In response to community input via that process, ICANN Staff and the Registrars Constituency agreed on a set of proposed amendments to the Registry Registrar Agreement (RAA).
There is strong support for those agreed-to amendments, albeit many have suggested that the amendments should go further.
The current terms in the RAA date back to 1999 and many have needed revision for years.

Resolve:

The GNSO Council asks Staff to work with registrars and the Council to define the most expeditious process for implementing the agreed-to proposed amendments to the RAA as soon as possible.
The GNSO Council will form a drafting team to review the superset of proposed RAA issues and amendments not addressed in the presently proposed and agreed-to amendments and develop a request for an Issues Report, including clear identification of the policy issues that are involved.
