The GNSO today approved the charter for the drafting team to be charged with: a) creating a registrants rights document; b) identifying topics to be considered in the next round of RAA amendments; c) proposing the next steps for address b).
There will be two sub-groups, one for a, and one for b+c. It is expected that there will be significant overlap and certainly communications between the two.
I don't have the exact wording of the motion and charter (there were some minor changes at the end), but will forward once I have it (probably tomorrow).
For those who have not been following the process, there was ALAC/At-Large in the debate over how to structure the drafting team(s) and in the wording of the charter.
I would hope that, while this is a GNSO initiative, that any right documents to come out of this also apply to ccTLDs. They should not get a free ride. I know that the CC registries sometimes think that they're above all the politics (and the policy), but I want to ensure that they are not exempted (and that they are not allowed to believe they might be exempt). GNSO may not care about the applicability of registrant rights to ccTLDs, but we should. - Evan PS: I never did figure out... is the current status of .su a ccTLD or a gTLD?
