Thought I should point out that the only change from the version that<br>
was circulated Sunday afternoon is in the last paragraph of the resolve.<br>
<br>
The Sunday afternoon version read:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments, the GNSO<br>
</div>Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss the amendments further and<br>
identify those that the community believes could be further revised<br>
through PDP processes or through additional changes to the RAA that may<br>
not fall within scope of a formal PDP process. The Drafting Team should<br>
<div class="im">endeavor to provide its advice to the Council and ICANN staff no later<br>
then July 31, 2009.<br>
<br>
</div>It has been changed to:<br>

Subject: [council] Final version of RAA amendment/motion<br>
From: "Tim Ruiz" <<a href="mailto:tim@godaddy.com">tim@godaddy.com</a>><br>

<br>
The attached, also copied below, is the final version of the motion many<br>
of us have worked on. It reflects all the changes that we've discussed.<br>
Not completely sure of the best way to frame it for voting, but would<br>
like to suggest that we consider it the only motion on this subject that<br>
we vote on tomorrow.<br>

Whereas, the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) has not been<br>
amended since May 2001, and ICANN has undertaken a lengthy consultative<br>
process related to amending the RAA, including several public comment<br>
periods and consultations;<br>
<br>
Whereas, the proposed changes to the RAA include important compliance<br>
and enforcement tools for ICANN; The Council wishes to approve the set<br>
of proposed amendments as quickly as possible so that the ICANN Board<br>
may review them, and if approved then implement them as quickly as<br>
possible; and<br>
<br>
Whereas,<br>
<br>
The Council would like to proceed on the drafting of a charter<br>
identifying registrant rights that registrars would be obliged to link<br>
to, as contemplated in the set of amendments;<br>
<br>
The Council would like a specific process and timeline to move forward<br>
with additional potential amendments to the RAA; and<br>
<br>
The Registrar Constituency is supportive of these efforts and is willing<br>
to participate on a good faith basis on anticipated next steps.<br>
<br>
Resolved:<br>
<br>
The GNSO Council supports the RAA amendments as documented in<br>
<a href="http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/current-list-proposed-raa-amendments-16dec08.pdf" target="_blank">http://gnso.icann.org/drafts/current-list-proposed-raa-amendments-16dec08.pdf</a><br>
and recommends to the Board that they be adopted at its meeting of March<br>
6, 2009;<br>
<br>
Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments,<br>
representatives from the GNSO community and the ALAC shall be identified<br>
to participate in drafting a registrant rights charter, as contemplated<br>
by the amendments and the current GNSO Council discussions, with support<br>
from ICANN staff. A draft charter shall be completed no later then July<br>
31; and<br>
<br>
Within 30 days of Board approval of the set of amendments, the GNSO<br>
Council will form a Drafting Team to discuss further amendments to the<br>
RAA.<br>
The Drafting Team should endeavor to provide its advice to the Council<br>
and<br>
ICANN staff no later then July 31, 2009.<br>
