Draft MoU with ICANN:
Thanks Darlene, My recommendations are to amend 4.7 and 4.8 rather than delete, borrowing some language from the GAC principles and making clear that the concerns are in scope for the NARALO: 4.7 Performing periodic impact analyses (similar to an environmental impact statement) of existing policies and of proposed policy changes, as those affect North American Internet users. [substituting "North American Internet users" for "the general public." - 4.8 If the North American RALO, ALSs, or individuals express formal concerns about any ICANN issues, the ICANN Board should fully consider those concerns and clearly explain how it will address them. (borrowed from <http://gac.icann.org/web/home/gTLD_principles.pdf>, 3.3) Thanks, --Wendy

Hi all,
I've taken the liberty to go through the transcript of our last telephone conference as well as the ICANN review of the MOU and have done my best to provide a "red lined" overview of the MOU. Since, on the Wiki, I can neither figure out how to create the colour red nor the appropriate strike-out, I have used the following conventions:
* Things cut are surrounded by brackets and are in bold. * Things added are just in bold
I have pretty much used ICANN's suggestions verbatim, not because I necessarily agree with them but just so that we can all have a starting point for discussion. Some things that some may wish to discuss are:
1. Clause 4.4 - During the conference call, Danny suggested wording such as "ICANN shall provide administrative and operational support necessary for the NARALO to carry out its responsibilities"; whereas what ICANN suggested was "Providing the necessary resources to support NARALO activities and the NARALO Secretariat." This seems to state about the same thing but I'm not sure. Maybe Danny would like to comment further. 2. Clause 4.6 - I went with ICANN's wording but also added Spanish and the wording on "official languages". 3. Section 5 - ICANN suggested wording to give us a much broader role in the certification of ALSes. One thing I noticed, though, is it remains silent on decertification. 4. Clauses 6.4 and 6.5 have already been amended, I believe, in order to remove the unlimited liability problems. Clause 6.5 still needs work.
So, this list is by no means comprehensive. I was just hoping to get the ball rolling and discussion happening.
