No, it obviously is not agreed to by the registrars. Nor is it particularly helpful to portray a top-down capability to unilaterally amend the agreement as a "compromise" to the unilateral termination clause. Replacing one bad idea with a different bad idea is no compromise. ICANN further has not indicated why the registrars' statement regarding the current status of the matter was not posted.

All,
I saw ICANN's memo on the RAA negotiations, but did not see them post the Registrars' memo which I believe is unfortunate. There are always two sides to every story and unfortunately I did not see them both represented.
I would like to see if we can devote some time during the Council meeting to discuss the last minute changes to the registries and registrars agreements. I agree with the Registrars that with these last minute changes proposed, there is a challenge presented to the PDP process and frankly the GNSO's ongoing role that should be addressed.
I would welcome this discussion. I'm disturbed by what I hear about the latest draft, especially if ICANN presents it as a "proposed agreement" when it appears to lack much agreement.

As you will discover today ICANN has published "a" version of the new RAA for comment. As this impacts on multiple topics / themes you'll have to excuse me for cross-posting this The Registrar SG Negotiating Team feel this publication was premature and have issued a statement:
