Jeff, just a point of clarification.  

The RACK group did not write BRU1 -- there definitely were folks in the BRU1 
group who did not support the RACK proposal.  BRU1 was an attempt to bridge the 
gap between JN2 supporters, the big majority of whom were the registrar members 
of the WG (see the results of the last poll), and the RACK group.  

As discussed on the last call and from my perspective, the biggest difference 
between the RACK proposal and the BRU1 proposal is that BRU1 permits registrars 
and their affiliates to serve as RSPs if they do not control the pricing, 
policies and registrar selection process of the registry AND there is a direct 
contract between ICANN and the RSP.  The agreement would prohibit the RSP from 
engaging in any favoritism, misuse of data, etc.  It also would include a 
strict sanctions program, including the potential loss of the ability to be an 
RSP in that TLD or any other.   As such, the RSP/Registrar Affiliate would be 
constrained from bad acts by its agreement with its independent customer, the 
registry operator, as well as its direct accreditation agreement with ICANN.  
My hope is/was that BRU1 would receive support from registrars who want to 
provide back-end services and the folks who supported the RACK proposal.

The BRU2 proposal does not provide the same opportunity for registrars to serve 
as back-end providers.  It is much more restrictive.  

Thanks.

Jon
