<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The GNSO Council has
initiated a policy development process (PDP) on the topic of Vertical
Integration between Registrars and Registries. At its 10 March 2010 meeting,
the GNSO Council formed a working group to perform the activities of this PDP,
and is now seeking volunteers to serve on the working group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This working group will
evaluate and propose policy recommendations for new gTLDs and existing gTLDs on
the topic of vertical integration between registries and registrars. The
working group expects to define the range of restrictions on vertical
separation that are currently in effect, to serve as a baseline to evaluate
future proposals. The work will be done an expedited basis, with an expected
completion date of 30 June 2010, and will follow the parameters of the charter
approved by the GNSO Council for this PDP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If you would like to
participate in this working group as a volunteer, kindly respond by email to <a
href="mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org">gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org</a>
by Monday, 22 March. You will need to submit your Statement of Interest in
order to serve on this working group. The template for the Statement of
Interest is described in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The working group plans to
schedule its first meeting during the week of 22-26 March 2010. At that
meeting, the first agenda item will be to select the Chair of the working
group. The chair is expected to serve his/her duties in a neutral manner, in
accordance with the GNSO Working Group guidelines. Please be prepared to
nominate and vote an individual to serve as chair for this working group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
