To strengthen Kristina's remarks, let me add that the RAA is on the
agenda as an "informational item". A decision on it was
deferred at the Mexico City Board meeting, pending a 30 day comment
period. The period is now over and the comments (according to the staff
summary) supported adoption "the sooner the better". The Board
itself in Mexico <br>
<pre>committed "to act on approval of the amendments at the earliest
opportunity" following this public comment period.
The longer we wait, the fewer registrars will be covered automatically
and ICANN will have to pay them to adopt the new RAA.

I see that the RAA Amendments aren't an agenda item. Given that the<br>
public comment period closed on 6 April and the majority of comments<br>
supported the amendments and the Board's prompt action on them, do
you<br>
know why there's no agenda item (and, if not, who may be able to
answer<br>
that question)?<br><br>
