Hi Evan (and everyone) Actually, that document was on my list of issues that still need addressing. We were not consulted about it, and I have not had a chance to go through to see in detail what is there - and what should be there. My impression is that all that was done was to take the obligations registrars have under the RAA and turn them into the one page document called Rights - or Benefits. In fact, since that is all the document is, it really is a light of what a registrant has a right to expect.

Indeed, it looked like a very sloppy search-and-replace effort because the word "rights" was removed in some places but not others in what appears as random fashion. Given that the ALAC did not have an opportunity to discuss this during the Durban meeting, I raised it in an individual capacity during the Durban Public Forum (see page 97 of the Forum transcript [1]; ). When asked, Fadi spent what seemed quite a long time (not reflected in the transcript) conferring silently with his staff (including legal staff), after which he promised to "look into it". I would like to ask Olivier and/or At-Large staff to please follow up on this. I think that the community is owed an explanation of how the term "registrant benefits and responsibilities" ever crept into ICANN lingo; I don't ever recall it ever being used in a policy context.
