The entire discussion is visible of the GNSO mailing list. This current motion was made by Tim and seconded by Chick Gomes. Earlier versions had other authors. These draw upon words that I used in a set of motions that I had volunteered to draft, but the second resolution is a bit more open-ended. The gist of all versions was similar, and there was a general consensus the there should be two motions and not a single combined one. What eventually is voted on at the meeting may be different. But I posted the current version since Beau had made reference to "the language about future amendments is too vague and lacks a timetable." and I thought others on this list should see what he was referring to.

Just for the sake of complete disclosure, who put these motions on the table? Might it be Tim Ruiz of the registrar's constituency?

1.
Whereas: - ICANN has undertaken a lengthy consultative process related to amending the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA); - The parties have arrived at a set of amendments that are generally thought to be worthy of inclusion in the RAA;
Resolve: The GNSO Council supports the attached RAA amendments and recommends to the Board that they be adopted.
2.
Whereas: - The GNSO Council has recommended that the RAA amendments developed by the ICANN community be adopted; - There is a belief that additional amendments to the RAA may be required; - The Registrar Constituency is open to continuing the dialogue about future changes to the RAA;
Resolve: The GNSO Council calls on ICANN to establish a consultative process by which to review the superset of community-suggested RAA issues and amendments not addressed in the present set of amendments and to work with Registrars to develop a procedure for proposing additional amendments in the future.
I note that for future changes that are within GNSO scope and for which we can build community support, we do have the Issues Report path which can be moderately fast (as the ICANN procedures go), which gives us a level of input into the timeline.

The first vote had three options: Delay until a briefing could take place Vote to approve the package while acknowledging there could be further amendments Vote no
The second vote removes the "delay until a briefing could take place" option.
I didn't think it appropriate to vote yes the first time, without a more thorough briefing to the ALAC about where things stood after the ALAC made a statement about the RAA back in September.
I still remain concerned that the language about future amendments is too vague and lacks a timetable.

I voted no on the last RAA submission.
There's been a modification, as you see below.
How would you like me to vote on this modification?
I am inclined to vote "yes," as long as we can count on the "with the possibility of further policy development in the future" part. Otherwise, from what I am able to understand, we might lose the good work that's been done on the RAA up to this point.

Dear ALAC members,
A briefing was recently held on the RAA Package by Tim Cole and Kurt Pritz from ICANN staff. You can find the audio recording and summary minutes of this briefing under:

You will be asked to choose among the following
options:
1. Recommend the GNSO to accept the current RAA
package, with the possibility of further policy development in the future.
2. Recommend that the GNSO do not approve the current RAA package. 3. Abstain
You will receive a separate email with you voting credentials shortly.
