Friendly amendment to VI Charter<br></font><br></div>
<div></div>Caroline,
<div><br></div>
<div>Thank you for your message. Please note that the DT recognised that the
definitions were works in progress. However, within the time we had to produce
a charter, it would have been impossible to refine the definitions. This is
why the following footnote was included:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><!--StartFragment--><span lang="EN-US" style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US">The
working definitions included in this charter are subject to further
development and refinement by Staff, but are included in the interests of time
in order to allow the remainder of the charter to be finalized and approved by
the GNSO Council.</span><!--EndFragment--> </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It was the DT's expectation that the WG would continue to work on the
definitions.</div>
<div><br></div>

that the proposed working definitions in the Charter are neither accurate

The RySG underscores the importance of developing standalone definitions for
each element of vertical integration. However, these definitions
should be developed by experts in competition and antitrust matters and
derived from, where possible, language in ICANN contracts and ICANN
documentation that uses the relevant terms.
