<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>
