Integration Working Group is seeking comments on its Initial Report on Vertical
Integration Between Registrars and Registries. This <a

Report</a> [PDF, 731 KB] is posted for <a

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 lang=EN-US style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Please
note:</span></strong><span lang=EN-US 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 lang=EN-US 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 lang=EN-US 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 lang=EN-US 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 lang=EN-US 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 lang=EN-US 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
