</span></span></span><![endif]><u>4 (Repeated language contradicting 8.3)</u>: I don't agree that the language from 6.5 (now removed from 6.3) contradicts 8.3. 6.5 deals with RO's right to amend on 90 days' notice. The relevant portion of 8.3 states that if
RO posts an amended version of the agreement on the CentralNic Console, Registrar may simply accept the new agreement in place of the old agreement -- rather than amending the existing agreement. In other words, 6.5 covers the assignment process and the relevant
portion of 8.3 provides a related (but seperate) option to replace the existing agreement with the amended version of the agreement. They're entirely consistent -- although not very clearly drafted. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I used the exact RRA that was approved multiple times by the RrSG -- including fairly recently -- so I'm a little surprised by these items being brought up now. Given the amount of changes being requested, I'm going to redraft and resubmit
the RRA with the requested changes and a number of other registry-friendly changes I've wanted for years. I've been avoiding making any changes to our RRA to make the RrSG's approval process a little easier. Looks like now's the time to make the changes.
More to follow. <o:p></o:p></p>

deletes the old RRA and inserts the text of the new RRA. This style of redline is not useful in our review of the changes and may delay our response. Instead, the RrSG requests that registry operators run a comparison of the current RRA against the proposed
new RRA (or use some other method of tracking the changes to each section). Of course, if a registry operator has questions about what style of redline is most helpful to the RrSG, the RRA Review Team would be happy to consult as they prepare their documents.
In the future, the RrSG will be unable to complete our review until the correct redlines are submitted by the registry operator.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
