RE: [gnso-raa-dt] Proposed agenda for: RAA call details / Monday 03 August 1900 UTC

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

Looks like one resolution to me . . . 

20090304-2 

Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) motion 

Motion made by Tim Ruiz
Seconded by Kristina Rosette

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 than July 31 2009; 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 and to 
identify those on which further action may be desirable. The Drafting Team 
should endeavor to provide its advice to the Council and ICANN staff no later 
than July 31, 2009.

Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.

Not sure that we even need a Chair for either of these efforts. And they will 
not work well unless separated. They are NOT related, it was not discussed as 
if they were, and the RrC never agreed that they were a combined effort. That's 
why there were two resolutions.

Thanks for this.

My personal suggestion would be for someone who was neither on ALAC 
nor the GNSO Council to chair - as part of the effort to spread the 
work beyond official councils, i.e as part of the new council as 
policy manager effort

I also think we should appoint someone to act as a GNSO council 
liaison(s) to the group. You are already doing several of these, but 
we can discuss that in the next council meeting.

As for non-contracting parties versus contracting parties, one idea 
may be to have 2 co-chairs, with one from each house.

Thanks
