Thanks Wendy,

Technically, this just missed the deadline but personally I have no

objections on this basis.

Providing no objections are received, I suggest we proceed as though

it did not miss the deadline.

Do we have a second for this motion?

To: Council GNSO

Subject: [council] Proposed Motion on RAA

I'd like to propose the following motion for the Beijing meeting

(resending from the correct address):

Whereas the most recently posted draft Registrar Accreditation

Agreement

(RAA) has raised serious concerns of policy among most of the

stakeholder groups in the GNSO [see Minutes of March call];

Whereas ICANN negotiators have held it out as a blocker to the

implementation of the New gTLD Program;

Resolved, Council recommends that ICANN permit Registrars to extend

the rights and obligations in the current RAA and its renewals to new

gTLDs until such time as the GNSO adopts a consensus supporting the

policy changes in any proposed new RAA.

Thanks,

--Wendy
