I'd like to revise the RAA question to the Board and suggest one on the topic for the GAC: Board - The Board's Dakar resolution requested an Issue Report for a PDP "as quickly as possible" to address "remaining items that may be suited for a PDP" relating to the RAA. Given that negotiations are ongoing on certain topics between ICANN staff and the Registrars Stakeholder Group, and that the Final Report on the RAA was just issued (on which the Council will be expected to act) is it the Board's expectation that the time frame and specific topics for a PDP will be dependent on the duration and outcome of the negotiations? What is the Board's view on the relationship between the scope of the topics to be negotiated directly and that for a PDP, especially as regards topics that may be considered policy matters? GAC - On the RAA negotiations, the ICANN Board passed a resolution in Dakar requesting a GNSO Issue Report for a PDP "as quickly as possible" regarding "remaining items suited for a PDP". The Report has been completed, and the GNSO Council will be expected to discuss it and possibly act on it. To assist us in evaluating whether and how to conduct a PDP, can the GAC give us some sense of how they believe the RAA process is going, and what they believe remains necessary to address? All edits and suggestions are welcome. Rejection is okay too " I'll live :} Cheers Mary "Wendy Seltzer <wendy@seltzer.com>" <wendy@seltzer.com> wrote: Sub-question to the GAC discussion on RAA: How can the GNSO engage the GAC in discussion about the LEA recommendations, such as verification and regulations on privacy/proxy providers, so that the negotiations reflect realistic options from the viewpoint of the community? We need to have these discussions in parallel, rather than having an unacceptable agreement come back to Council and be rejected on Policy grounds. --Wendy On 03/10/2012 02:37 PM, Stéphane Van Gelder wrote:
