FYI Wolf-Ulrich Sent from my personal phone Anfang der weitergeleiteten E‑Mail:

Von: Wendy Seltzer <wendy@seltzer.com> Datum: 3. April 2013 08:27:43 GMT+08:00 An: Council GNSO <council@gnso.icann.org> Betreff: [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
