[gnso-raa-dt] FW: Report from RAA DT

["Metalitz, Steven" <met@xxxxxxx>]

RAA-DT participants, 

Please see below the report from our call yesterday that Beau and I have sent 
to GNSO and ALAC as suggested, including the revised timeline.  

As agreed on the call yesterday, please advise Glen de St. Gery (copied here -- 
glen@xxxxxxxxx) as soon as possible whether your preference is to participate 
in subteam A (registrant rights charter) or subteam B (identifying issues for 
possible RAA amendments).  Glen will create subteam mailing lists accordingly.  
While there is certainly no bar to joining both subteams, they will be working 
in parallel and we would hope for active participation from everyone on the 
lists, so please do so only if you have time to participate actively on both 
subteams.  

Please respond to Glen no later than Monday, Oct. 5 if possible.  Of course 
additional participants are welcomed but please encourage them to step forward 
as soon as possible.  

Steve Metalitz, co-coordinator

> RE:   Next steps on RAA/Registrant Rights Drafting Team 
> DT:   10/1/09
> Yesterday the RAA Drafting Team held its first meeting since the Council> '> 
> s September 3 approval of its charter.  We volunteered to serve as 
> co-coordinators of the DT.  We wanted to advise you of some of the key 
> outputs of the meeting, for your circulation throughout ALAC and GNSO as you 
> think appropriate.
> Sub-teams:  Sub-teams will work in parallel on task A (Registrant Rights 
> Charter) and task B (identifying issues for possible RAA amendments).  We 
> will circulate to those already signed up on the mailing list, asking them to 
> state their interest for one or the other subteam, and will create two 
> mailing lists accordingly.   Beau will coordinate subteam A and Steve will 
> coordinate subteam B.
> Timelines:  The charter provided no timeline for task A, and the timeline 
> proposed for task B is no longer achievable (since it called for a draft 
> report to be circulated by 30 days after charter approval, i.e., October 3).  
> The charter recognizes that adjustments to the timetable may be necessary.  
> Those on the call agreed to aim to circulate draft documents by 30 days after 
> the Seoul meeting (i.e., late November).  We will seek to start drafting work 
> prior to Seoul and will explore the possibility of a face-to-face meeting 
> (with remote participation) in Seoul.    
> Participation:  There are currently about 41 people subscribed the mailing 
> list, split almost evenly between GNSO and At-Large.  We think this provides 
> a critical mass to start the work. Of course additional volunteers would be 
> welcomed but we urge them to sign up as soon as possible. 
> Please let me or Beau know if you have questions.
