Speaking of which, the conditions for amending a new gtld registry contract is currently open for comment.

One of the issues is that there is a push among registries to make it more like the RAA where the amendments have to be negotiated with each individual registry as opposed to being done through a common process like the consensus policy process.

Might be worth commenting on.

Info on the review process can be found at: http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/#agreement-amendment
Comment periods ends on 1 April.
