<P class=MsoNormal><B>MOTION TO COMMENCE A PDP:<o:p></o:p></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><B><o:p> </o:p></B></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Whereas, on 24 September 2009, the GNSO Council requested
ICANN Staff to prepare an Issues Report on the topic of vertical integration
between registries and registrars;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Whereas, on 11 December 2009, the Issues Report on Vertical
Integration between Registries and Registrars was delivered to the GNSO
Council;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Whereas, the Issues Report includes recommendations that
the GNSO Council delay the initiation of a PDP for a period of 1-2
years;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Whereas, notwithstanding the recommendations in the Issue
Report, the GNSO Council has decided to initiate a PDP on Vertical Integration
between Registries and Registrars;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Whereas, <SPAN style="COLOR: black">the GNSO council has
decided against initiating a Task force as defined in the ICANN
Bylaws;</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now therefore, be it:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council has reviewed the
recommendations contained in the Issues Report, and nonetheless approves the
initiation of a PDP on the topic of Vertical Integration between Registries
and Registrars;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>FURTHER RESOLVED, that the PDP shall evaluate which policy
recommendations, if any, should be developed on the topic of vertical
integration between registrars and registries affecting both new gTLDs and
existing gTLDs, as may be possible under existing contracts and as allowed
under the ICANN Bylaws;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>FURTHER RESOLVED, recognizing that this PDP may not
conclude its work in time to affect the initial round of New gTLD
applications, the GNSO Council recommends that any Stakeholder Group or
Constituency affected by this issue actively participate in the implementation
activities conducted by ICANN for the New gTLD program;<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>FURTHER RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council shall convene a
drafting team to propose a draft charter for a working group to be created to
fulfill the requirements of the PDP, which draft charter to be delivered
approximately thirty (30) days from the date of this
resolution.<o:p></o:p></P>
