[NA-Discuss] FW: Second Vote on the RAA Package now open

The two GNSO motions currently on the table are:

1.

Whereas:
     - ICANN has undertaken a lengthy consultative process related to
     amending the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA);
     - The parties have arrived at a set of amendments that are generally
     thought to be worthy of inclusion in the RAA;

Resolve:
     The GNSO Council supports the attached RAA amendments and recommends to
     the Board that they be adopted.

2.

Whereas:
     - The GNSO Council has recommended that the RAA amendments developed by
     the ICANN community be adopted;
     - There is a belief that additional amendments to the RAA may be
     required;
     - The Registrar Constituency is open to continuing the dialogue about
     future changes to the RAA;

Resolve:
     The GNSO Council calls on ICANN to establish a consultative process by
     which to review the superset of community-suggested RAA issues and
     amendments not addressed in the present set of amendments and to work
     with Registrars to develop a procedure for proposing additional
     amendments in the future.

I note that for future changes that are within 
GNSO scope and for which we can build community 
support, we do have the Issues Report path which 
can be moderately fast (as the ICANN procedures 
go), which gives us a level of input into the timeline.
