We agreed on the MOU/LOI proposal yesterday, and are discussing it with the GWG tomorrow afternoon. Paul asked us to send It to the Caucus as well, so with this email I'm doing so.

As we have discussed in the past, the RSSAC has asked itself what a contract between an RSO and a contracting organization might look like. There are a number of issues, as you can imagine and we have discussed. The paper we came up with is attached.

This morning, PDT, the RSSAC agreed that we are done with it and are happy to send it to you. Note that we neither expect nor intend that the GWG issue exactly what we have produced, but we hope it might help the GWG with its deliberations.

Thursday, there will be a call between the RSSAC and the GWG, in which we hope to discuss this paper. When we talk with the ICANN BTC, we similarly expect to bring this up as one of the things the RSSAC has been thinking about.
