<p class=MsoPlainText>Dear Registrars,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The vote on our 2009-2010 Budget has completed and the
new budget has been approved. With that bit of good news, I am writing to all
of you to discuss your membership in the Registrars Stakeholder Group (RSG),
formally known as the Registrars Constituency. For most of you the membership
will be a renewal but for some it will be the first time you are able to join
the RSG. I am happy to announce that we have been able to keep the cost the
same as previous years, US$500 for an annual membership. The membership is for
the fiscal year July 1, 2009 – June 30<sup>th</sup> 2010 (same as ICANN
year), we are just a little late in collections. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>As a member of the RSG, you have an opportunity to
discuss and vote on the future of ICANN and your business, to actually have
your voice heard. These discussions on new TLD’s, the RAA and other
topical matters happen at both ICANN meetings and on the Registrars Stakeholder
Group mailing list, so you do not need to attend an ICANN meeting to
participate, but you do need to be a paid member to be on the mailing lists. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>For those that do attend ICANN meetings, only paid
members will be able to participate in the closed door meetings of Registrars
and have the ability to vote on RSG positions. Sorry, No exceptions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>And last but not least, please remember that the dues
collected help to fund our Advocate, Admin, Meeting Expenses and other needs
for the coming year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Payments must be received by December 15, 2009 to become
a member. For those that decide not to renew their memberships, please realize
you will be removed from all RC mailing lists effective January 1, 2010. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If you are interested in membership for the period,
please pay the invoice to be sent to you by our assistant Cristin Donahue, as
well as returning the fill-in information requested. If you have not
received an invoice by November 20<sup>th</sup>, 2009 or are interested in joining
for the first time please contact Cristin directly at <a
href="mailto:Cristin@icann-registrars.org">Cristin@icann-registrars.org</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>(Please check your spam mailbox for Cristin’s email
if you have not received your invoice and make sure to white list her address
for future correspondence)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>In addition this year we have made it as simple as
possible to make a payment for your membership. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Payment made be made by one of the following methods
Check, Wire and PayPal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Please be sure to identify where the payment is coming
from, i.e., IANA ID #, contact name, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>When sending payment, please send confirmation to Cristin
Donahue, the RSG Assistant, at <a href="mailto:Cristin@icann-registrars.org">Cristin@icann-registrars.org</a>,
along with the filled-in portion of the invoice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thank you. If you have any questions related to
your account, please feel free to contact to Cristin and she will follow up
directly with you. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
