ICANN Publishes Registrant Rights and Responsibilities Webpage

[Beau Brendler]

Definitely. That would be great...there was a lot of interest expressed among at-large people for moving the RAA "aspirational rights" (I don't care for that terminology but it's the one that has stuck) principles forward.

Since no one else was dumb enough to volunteer, I agreed to continue to be ALAC's point person on this, so anyone who is interested let me know. Also when Heidi gets back I am sure she will help us coordinate the workspace that was set up for this -- it's supposed to be open to whomever wants to contribute potential "aspirational" rights statements.
