Tony,

I have been trying to follow this in the Working

Group, so would be happy to volunteer. As

per the original comment the ISPCP sent in,

I was tuned into a group known as "RACK",

which has attempted to keep a conservative

attitude to VI.

Public Comment: Initial Report on Vertical Integration Between Registrars
and Registries

23 July 2010

The GNSO Vertical Integration Working Group is seeking comments on its
Initial Report on Vertical Integration Between Registrars and Registries.
This Initial
<http://gnso.icann.org/issues/vertical-integration/vi-pdp-wg-initial-report-
23jul10-en.pdf>  Report [PDF, 731 KB] is posted for public
<http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201008-en.htm#vi-pdp-
initial-report>  comment as a required step in the GNSO's Policy Development
Process on Vertical Integration between Registrars and Registries. The
Initial Report describes various proposed solutions for restrictions on
vertical integration between registrars and registries for adoption in the
New gTLD Program.

Please note: The Working Group is working under an extremely aggressive
schedule in order to meet the requirements that have been placed on it by
the GNSO Council and the ICANN Board. The Working Group is planning to
continue its analysis throughout the public comment period. Reviewers are
encouraged to submit comments early to provide the group as much time as
possible to consider them.

The public comment period ends on 12 August 2010.

Background:

The GNSO Council has commenced a policy development process (PDP) on the
topic of vertical integration between registrars and registries. The GNSO
Council formed a working group to evaluate whether any policy
recommendations should be developed on the topic of vertical integration
between registrars and registries affecting both new gTLDs and existing
gTLDs.

ICANN is currently in the process of finalizing the implementation details
for the launch of new gTLDs. ICANN has posted four draft applicant
guidebooks and a series of topic papers for public comment describing the
manner in which ICANN proposes to implement this program. These documents
include proposals on the topic of vertical integration and whether
cross-ownership restrictions or other rules related to vertical integration
should be adopted to apply to the New gTLD Program.

The Initial Report describes several proposals regarding vertical
integration that have been developed and analyzed by the VI Working Group.
No proposal has achieved consensus support within the VI Working Group.
These proposals are included for the purpose of seeking public comment and
will be subject to further analysis and debate as the VI Working Group
continues to strive to develop a consensus position to recommend to the GNSO
Council on an expedited basis.

The Initial Report published for public comment is a "snapshot" of a living
document that will be revised several times during the public comment
period. Reviewers are encouraged to check on the working-group wiki for the
latest version of this Initial Report.

This public comment forum is an opportunity to comment on any of the
proposed vertical integration models that are described the Initial Report.
The Initial Report will be posted for a public comment period that closes on
12 August 2010. Comments can be sent to vi-pdp-initial-report at icann.org and
reviewed at http://forum.icann.org/lists/vi-pdp-initial-report/.
