> Section I: Description, Explanation, and Purpose:
> After an extended period of negotiations, ICANN is posting a
> proposed 2013 Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) for public
> comment.
>
> On 7 March 2013, ICANN posted its version of the 2013 RAA for
> public comment, noting some areas of disagreement between ICANN and
> the Registrar Negotiating Team (NT). In addition, some of the
> specifications posted for comment were ICANN versions only. Since
> the 7 March posting, the Registrar NT has engaged in frequent
> negotiation sessions with ICANN in order to bring to closure to all
> of the open negotiation topics and to consider the community
> comments received from the 7 March posting. As a result, at ICANN's
> public meeting in Beijing, ICANN and the Registrar NT announced
> that they had reached agreement in principle on each of the
> outstanding items highlighted in the March posting version. The
> documents posted today reflect ICANN and the Registrar NT's
> agreements and are the Proposed Final 2013 RAA. This proposed 2013
> RAA is a cornerstone of ICANN's efforts to work to improve the
> image of the domain industry and to protect registrants through a
> further updated contractual framework. It is ICANN's intention to
> have the 2013 RAA completed and approved in the near future for use
> in the New gTLD Program.
>
> To allow for transparency into the proposed final version of the
> 2013 RAA and community input on the changes from the 7 March
> posting, ICANN is opening a full comment forum.
>
> ICANN thanks the Registrar Negotiating Team (NT) for its continued
> engagement in good faith negotiations on the RAA. The RAA posted
> today reflects hard-fought concessions on many of key issues raised
> throughout the negotiations.
>
> A fuller discussion of the status of negotiations and areas of
> difference is available in ICANN's RAA Posting Memorandum [PDF, 65
> KB].
>
> Section II: Background:
> The current round of negotiations over the RAA began in October
> 2011. ICANN and the Registrar Negotiation Team have presented
