Thanks Alan, Several Board members have asked to move this to the regular agenda. The concern from ALAC and GNSO members is noted. --Wendy Alan Greenberg wrote:
Wendy, the RAA is on the agenda as an "informational item". A decision on it was deferred at the Mexico City meeting, pending a 30 day comment period. The period is now over and the comments (according to the staff summary) supported adoption "the sooner the better". The Board itself in Mexico committed "to act on approval of the amendments at the earliest opportunity" following this public comment period.
Do you have any insight into what is going on, why there is an apparent delay, despite overwhelming (and unusual) bottom -up support for this measure, all the more so because contracts that we miss between now and the eventual approval will cost ICANN real money to get on board the new RAA?
