[council] ICANN Board meeting agenda - 23 April 2009

[Bruce Tonkin]

Hello All,
 
I have been contacted by several people in the GNSO community regarding
the RAA accreditation agenda item.  I have conveyed the concerns to the
Board list, and will provide an update later today.
 
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

	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 
	
	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.

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