Besides the draft Registrant Rights & Responsibility (R3) document that has already been discussed on this list, there are several other issues that may be of concern/interest to NCSG members, including the overlap with the changes currently being proposed to the new gTLD Registry Agreement in light of the whole "public interest" issue around new gTLDs. Note that the law enforcement agencies' requests that dominated earlier public discussions of the RAA were already folded into the draft before February, which is when the last round of negotiations between the Registrars and ICANN took place. 

The Registrars' Negotiating Team don't seem happy with ICANN releasing the draft at this point, interpreting that to mean that as far as ICANN is concerned this means negotiations are, effectively, over. Here's their official statement:  http://www.internetnews.me/2013/03/08/registrar-negotiating-team-issues-statement-on-raa/
