Thanks for your work on this, Chuck. Because I do
not agree that "there is strong support for the agreed-to amendments" across
the entire ICANN community, I suggest that that language be removed or,
alternatively, revised to indicate the segments of the community within which
there is strong support.

Council in our 18 Dec meeting.

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.
