I have no rights to amend the motion, but I would like to suggest the following amendment if anyone else is prepared to formally propose it. The rationale is that it is now reasonably clear that: - There may be requests to widen the concept to other international organizations; - There have been recommendations that any such changes not mention particular organizations but be more generic; - There is concern in the community over the overall concept; - There is concern in the community about making permanent the Board Name reservation which did not have bottom-up input of community involvement. Replace: Recommendation 3: Protections should apply for all future rounds, but may be reviewed after the first round. In its proposal, the GAC has recommended that the protections for the IOC and RCRC should not just apply during the first round of new gTLDs, but should be a permanent protection afforded for all subsequent rounds. Although, the Drafting Team has not spent a lot of time discussing this topic, it does agree with the notion that it is making this recommendation as one intended to apply in all future rounds, but also recognizes that like all other aspects of the new gTLD program, these protections may be reviewed by the ICANN community should it desire to do so. With: Recommendation 3: Protections should apply to the first round only. In light of the possible need to consider other international organizations or make the above recommendations more generic, and light of unease in parts of the committee, it is recommended that the above changes to the Applicant Guidebook apply to the first round only.

All,
The Drafting Team discussed possible amendments to the IOC/RCRC motion last week during its regularly scheduled meeting. I am not sure if those will be proposed or not by some members of the Council, so I guess we will just wait and see. There are two changes I would like to see which is more of clean-up administrative changes. Because of (i) the discussions in Costa Rica where changes were made to recommendation 2 to limit the number of languages as opposed to the version proposed on March 2nd, and (ii) the Board already met on March 16th, I propose making the following changes:
First Resolved Clause Resolved, that the GNSO Council adopts the following three recommendations from the IOC/RC Drafting Team's three recommendations as described in its Proposal for the protection of IOC and RCRC names at the top level as provided in <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/ioc-rcrc-proposal-02mar12-en.pdf>http://gnso.icann.org/issues/ioc-rcrc-proposal-02mar12-en.pdf; namely:
Last Resolved Clause Resolved, that the GNSO submits this proposed solution for Board consideration and adoption at its 16 March 2012 next meeting in Costa Rica as a recommended solution to implement Board Resolution 2011.06.20.01 for implementation in the first round of new gTLD applications.
Thanks.
