Vertical Integration Between Registrars and Registries. This <A
href="http://gnso.icann.org/issues/vertical-integration/vi-pdp-wg-initial-report-23jul10-en.pdf">Initial
Report</A> [PDF, 731 KB] is posted for <A
href="http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-201008-en.htm#vi-pdp-initial-report">public
comment</A> 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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Please
note:</SPAN></STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> 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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">The public comment period
ends on <STRONG><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">12 August

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">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 <STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">12 August 2010</SPAN></STRONG>.
