<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Jonathan,<br>
<br>
as the only GNSO councillor also part of the registrar negotiation
team with ICANN, I'd be happy to pitch in with the discussion and
shed some light regarding some of the talks and the more remaining
open issues. It was rather frustrating with ICANN first pausing
the talks for nearly 3 months and then coming back in February
with more new additions and a new deadline.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Volker<br>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">To complete
the set of documents, I am fowarding the statement of the
RrSG Negotiation Team on the current state of the
negotiations.<br>
Please note that the proposal currently envisioned by ICANN
will effectively move the policy development process from
the GNSO to the board.<br>
Most of the still contentious areas of the agreement are
additions ICANN staff made this February after having let
the negotiations languish in pause-mode for three months
after the Toronto meeting and contain items that were never
discussed with the registrar negotiation team since first
proposed, due to other "matters of higher urgency".<br>
This agreement is a portent of things to come and of a move
away from the multi-stakeholder model to a top-down
structure.<o:p></o:p></p>
<h3>Registrar Stakeholder Group Negotiating Team (Registrar
NT) statement regarding RAA negotiations<o:p></o:p></h3>
<pre>After nearly 18 months of negotiations with ICANN over a new Registrar <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Accreditation Agreement (RAA), formal negotiations have concluded. The posting <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>of a “proposed” 2013 RAA by ICANN for public comment signals that ICANN staff <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>believes that negotiations have concluded and the remaining issues will not be <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>resolved. <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The Registrars’ NT disagrees. To be clear, this is NOT the outcome that <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>registrars wanted, and they remain ready and willing to continue negotiations.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Prior to the Toronto ICANN meeting (October 2012), all parties acknowledged <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>that they were very close to agreement on all remaining issues. The process <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>appeared to be reaching a favorable conclusion and when ICANN CEO Fadi Chehadé <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>communicated his desire to have RAA negotiations wrapped up by the end of 2012, <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>registrars felt it was an ambitious timeframe, but one worth pursuing for the <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>benefit of all parties.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>When negotiations finally resumed in February 2013 much to the surprise of <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>registrars, the few remaining issues were not the only items under discussion. <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>ICANN staff presented a list of 10 brand new items for inclusion in the <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>agreement, under the pretext of enhancing the “public interest.” Furthermore, <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>these new items came along with an arbitrary deadline and decision to link the <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>2013 RAA to the new gTLD timeline.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Among these new demands was a Registrant Rights and Responsibilities document <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>(R3), a temporary privacy accreditation program and a requirement that <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>registrars accept and implement recommendations of the WHOIS Expert Working <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Group, which had yet to be formed and whose work is just beginning.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Although registrars were surprised by these new demands, registrars worked in <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>good faith with ICANN to accommodate its intentions. For example, registrars <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>consulted with their members to fine-tune the R3 document to make it easier to <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>understand and readily translatable in other languages. <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Some of the other new items for inclusion transcend the RAA and could affect <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the entirety of the multi-stakeholder model. For example, ICANN insisted on <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>including a proposed Revocation (or “blow up”) Clause that would have given <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>them the ability to unilaterally terminate all registrar accreditations. After <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>major pushback, ICANN staff relented and in its place proposed giving the ICANN <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Board the ability to unilaterally amend the RAA. This is identical to what <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>ICANN inserted into the proposed new gTLD registry agreement–a clause met with <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>strong opposition not only from the Registry Stakeholder Group but from the <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>broader ICANN community.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The effect of such a clause in the primary agreements between ICANN and its <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>commercial stakeholders would be devastating to the bottom-up, <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>multi-stakeholder model. First, it will effectively mean the end of the GNSO’s <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>PDP, as the Board will become the central arena for all controversial issues, <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>not the community. Second, it creates an imbalance of authority in the ICANN <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>model, with no limits on the scope or frequency of unilateral amendments, and <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>no protections for registrars and more important registrants.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>In addition to the new items for inclusion there was a surprise announcement <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>that all new gTLD registries must only use registrars that have signed the 2013 <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>RAA, a transparent effort by ICANN to arbitrarily link the new gTLD program to <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the outcome of RAA negotiations. This requirement would create separate <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>“classes” or “levels” of registrars, which is unprecedented in the DNS <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>industry. There can and must be only one meaning of “ICANN-Accredited.”<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>All of the items that have been agreed to over the past 18 months would, by <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>themselves, produce an RAA that is vastly improved over the current 2009 <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>version. If adopted, that RAA would significantly raise performance <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>requirements for every ICANN accredited registrar and bring dramatic <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>improvements to the domain name ecosystem. Nearly all of the Law Enforcement <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>requests that were endorsed by the GAC have been included, as well as the major <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>items that were requested by the GNSO are included in that RAA. That RAA would <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>bring registrant verification. That RAA would bring enhanced compliance tools.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Registrars must emphasize that the key differences between that RAA and the one <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>currently proposed by ICANN are not issues raised by Law Enforcement, GAC or <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>the GNSO but by ICANN staff. <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>It now moves to the greater ICANN community to review these competing draft <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>RAAs, and registrars look forward to those public discussions. We welcome <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>engagement with all stakeholders on the new 2013 RAA, and what it means for <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>registrars, registrants, and the management of the DNS as a whole.<o:p></o:p></pre>

lang="EN-US">ICANN is seeking public comments on a
Proposed 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA),
particularly on areas where ICANN and the Registrar
Negotiating Team have not been able to reach agreement in
principle. This represents the first time in the nearly 18
months of negotiations that community comment is formally

commenced negotiation on amendments to the RAA in October
2011. While the documents posted today show many areas of
agreement, there are differences between the ICANN and

discussion is still ongoing regarding some of the
specifications to the agreement.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

lang="EN-US">After review of the comment received, the
proposed 2013 RAA will be reviewed to determine if further
changes are warranted. In addition, ICANN and the
Registrar NT are likely to continue discussions regarding
the areas where the specifications remain open. The
ultimate goal is to have a 2013 RAA completed and approved
in the near future.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

lang="EN-US">After nearly 18 months of negotiations, ICANN
is posting a new version of the proposed 2013 Registrar
Accreditation Agreement (RAA) for public comment.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""
lang="EN-US">The Registrar Negotiating Team (NT) has
continued to engage in good faith negotiations to
understand ICANN's perspective with respect to the
outstanding issues, and to share the often divergent
positions within the Registrar Stakeholder Group.
Recently, additional revisions were proposed by ICANN's
Negotiating Team stemming from the call by ICANN's CEO,
Fadi Chehadé, to work to improve the image of the domain
industry and to protect registrants through a further
updated contractual framework. The Registrar NT considered
each of these new issues, and worked towards finding
solutions where appropriate. The RAA posted today reflects
hard-fought concessions on many of key issues raised
throughout the negotiations, and highlights issues
remaining in order for the final 2013 RAA agreement to be
reached.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span
style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""
lang="EN-US">Throughout the RAA and its Specifications,
there are portions where two versions of draft text appear
side by side. These highlight areas where ICANN and the
Registrars have not been able to reach agreement in
principle on an issue, therefore both positions are
provided for comment. Unless otherwise noted, the
remainder of the document reflects agreements in principle
among ICANN and the Registrar NT.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
