GNSO
- Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss the amendments further
and
- identify those that the community believes could be further
revised
- through PDP processes or through additional changes to the RAA that

council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- The attached, also copied below, is the final version of the motion
many
- of us have worked on. It reflects all the changes that we've
discussed.
- Not completely sure of the best way to frame it for voting, but
would
- like to suggest that we consider it the only motion on this subject
that
- we vote on tomorrow.

- Whereas, the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) has not
been
- amended since May 2001, and ICANN has undertaken a lengthy
consultative
- process related to amending the RAA, including several public
comment
- periods and consultations;
- Whereas, the proposed changes to the RAA include important
compliance
- and enforcement tools for ICANN; The Council wishes to approve the
set
- of proposed amendments as quickly as possible so that the ICANN
Board
- may review them, and if approved then implement them as quickly
as
- possible; and
- Whereas,
- The Council would like to proceed on the drafting of a charter
- identifying registrant rights that registrars would be obliged to
link
- to, as contemplated in the set of amendments;
- The Council would like a specific process and timeline to move
forward
- with additional potential amendments to the RAA; and
- The Registrar Constituency is supportive of these efforts and is
willing
- to participate on a good faith basis on anticipated next
steps.
- Resolved:
- The GNSO Council supports the RAA amendments as documented in
-
http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/current-list-proposed-raa-amendments-16dec08.pdf
- and recommends to the Board that they be adopted at its meeting of
March
- 6, 2009;
- Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,
- representatives from the GNSO community and the ALAC shall be
identified
- to participate in drafting a registrant rights charter, as
contemplated
- by the amendments and the current GNSO Council discussions, with
support
- from ICANN staff. A draft charter shall be completed no later then
July
- 31; and
- Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments, the
GNSO
- Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss further amendments to
the
- RAA.
- The Drafting Team should endeavor to provide its advice to the
Council
- and
- ICANN staff no later then July 31, 2009.
