[ALAC] NCUC liaison report

[Adam Peake]

>* Of its three council votes, the NCUC voted 2-1 against approving 
>the RAA "package."


I have not seen any reason given by the NCUC council members for 
their vote, but I think it was mainly a wish to see the consultative 
process to continue. In an email last month Robin Gross said it 
hadn't been a major issue for the NCUC.

On the GNSO council list, the reasons for abstentions are noted in 
this email 
<http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg06134.html> 
and Avri Doria sums up her thoughts on the vote 
<http://gnso.icann.org/mailing-lists/archives/council/msg06145.html> 
(Tony Holmes agrees, just to give a sense that Avri might be right!)

Think it's clear to me I did not know enough about the issues and its 
long history. Though I am OK with my yes vote.

That NCUC/ALAC collaboration could be fruitful on issues we care 
about, e.g. registrar/consumer, that they seem to overlook.
