To strengthen Kristina's remarks, let me add that the RAA is on the
agenda as an "informational item". A decision on it was deferred at the Mexico
City Board meeting, pending a 30 day comment period. The period is now over
and the comments (according to the staff summary) supported adoption "the
sooner the better". The Board itself in Mexico
committed "to act on approval of the amendments at the earliest
opportunity" following this public comment period.
The longer we wait, the fewer registrars will be covered automatically
and ICANN will have to pay them to adopt the new RAA.

Thanks, Bruce.
I see that
the RAA Amendments aren't an agenda item. Given that the
public comment
period closed on 6 April and the majority of comments
supported the
amendments and the Board's prompt action on them, do you
know why there's
no agenda item (and, if not, who may be able to answer
that
question)?
