Bradley, I agree that 3.18 and 3.7.7 of the RAA are within the picket fence, and I think several other folks did as well. Also, I think that we did agree to grandfather existing agreements – happy to add as part of the drafting note. But it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to start calling out particular sections of the agreements – does that mean other parts of the agreement that are not called out are automatically suspect? Can we stick with the agreement reached last night? J.

I do want to make one suggested change to a drafting note, which is a point of clarity and is consistent with discussion on the call, as well as the back and forth on this list. We very much need to ensure that these restrictions are not going to be used to poke holes in the presumptive validity of provisions in the RAA and RA and PICs, which are supported by the Specs. So I propose: · The issues identified in Specifications 1 and 11to the Registry Agreement and Specification 4 to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (the so-called “Picket Fence”), as well the associated provisions of such agreements (including but not limited to Sections 3.18 and 3.7.7. of the RAA) are intended and understood to be within the scope of ICANN’s Mission Bradley From: accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org<mailto:accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org> [mailto:accountability-cross-community-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Burr, Becky Sent: Tuesday, November 24, 2015 12:54 PM To: Mueller, Milton L; Accountability Community; ACCT-Staff Subject: Re: [CCWG-ACCT] Resolution of Mission Language related to regulation and contract I am fine with “in service of” - just used in furtherance of because that is what the David Post language came around with J.

ICANN shall not impose regulations on services that use the Internet’s unique identifiers, or the content that such services carry or provide. ICANN shall have the ability to negotiate, enter into and enforce agreements with contracted parties in furtherance of its Mission. I have added the following Note per our discussion: Note to drafters: In crafting proposed Bylaws language to reflect this Mission Statement, the CCWG wishes the drafters to reflect the following considerations: The prohibition on the regulation of “content” is not intended to prevent ICANN policies from taking into account the semantic meaning of domain names. The issues identified in Specification 1 to the Registry Agreement and Specification 4 to the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (the so-called “Picket Fence”) are intended and understood to be within the scope of ICANN’s Mission. A side-by-side comparison of the formulation of the Picket Fence in the respective agreements is attached for reference. The PDF (as well as the PDF of the Picket Fence language) is attached. Please note also that I have added a general note to the effect that we expect the the Bylaws drafters may need to modify the Articles of Incorporation to align with the substantive changes to the Bylaws.
