The Secretariat of the BC is off today, so I am forwarding relevant ICANN 
postings. 
this is an important one.  I would ask that our BC members with particular 
interest and expertise in this topic to advise Steve DelBianco, our V.Chair of 
Policy Coordination. We will discuss this on our next BC call.

 Dear SO/AC Chairs,Recognizing the broad interest in the ICANN community on the 
RAA negotiations,  we wanted to provide you with a brief update on the work 
conducted since the Prague Meeting for you to share with your members.Since 
Prague, the negotiation teams have reviewed the input received from the 
Community in order to identify possible path forwards on the complex issues 
that have been put on the table in these negotiations.  Several meetings have 
taken place and are scheduled prior to Toronto, including plans to invite the 
GAC to provide input from data protection experts on several specific issues.  
There is also an agreement among the negotiation teams to begin analysis of a 
potential framework for a privacy/proxy accreditation program to be explored 
with the broader ICANN community.For more information on these important 
negotiations, please visit the ICANN wiki at:
