ICANN’s board of directors is set to approve the new Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) during a “special” board meeting at the end of the month
The board meeting agenda for their 27th June meeting includes several “consent” items, but tucked the main agenda items include the 2013 RAA.
If the board votes to approve it at the upcoming meeting then I suspect registrars will be asked to start signing on during the ICANN meeting in Durban next month.
