<p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US>Motion to commence A Policy

<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Whereas, the Issues Report includes
recommendations that the GNSO Council delay the initiation of a Policy
Development Process (PDP) on the issue for a period of 1-2 years;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Whereas, notwithstanding the
recommendations in the Issues Report, the GNSO Council has decided to initiate
a PDP on vertical integration between registries and registrars; and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Whereas, the GNSO Council has decided

<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Now therefore, be it:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>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></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>FURTHER RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council
shall convene a Working Group to fulfill the requirements of the PDP, including
a review of ICANN Staff’s prior work with respect to vertical
integration, and develop recommendations accordingly; and<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Working Group
