Re: [pdp-pcceg-feb06] Presentation on ICANN mission

Bruce:
Thank you for making this available.
In the course of your presentation this morning, you were interrupted 
at one point by Jon Nevett, who asked whether the outcome of this 
proceeding could have effect on registry agreements after their 
current terms. I believe you indicated your support for this 
proposition. Avri asked that further discussion of the question be 
deferred to the "any other business" portion of the meeting.
It is important that the record of this proceeding include the view 
of the Registry Constituency as follows:
1. To the extent that this proceeding purports to deal with the 
limitations on Consensus Policies, or the contract provisions that 
are covered by those limitations, or both, the proceeding is out of 
scope for a PDP.
2. This proceeding cannot have any effect on any existing registry 
agreement, or any renewal or extension of any such agreement, to the 
extent that the proceeding purports to limit or change the 
limitations on Consensus Policies in any such registry agreement.
