[council] Re-submission of the VI Motion for Sep 8th Council Meeting

[Caroline Greer]

Dear Council Members,

 

In advance of our next Council meeting on 8th September and in order to
meet the submission deadline of today, I would like to re-submit the
Motion to Forward the Revised Initial Report on the Vertical Integration
PDP to the ICANN Board. That motion is set out below.

 

Many thanks,

 

Kind regards,

 

Caroline.

 

**************************************************************

 

Whereas, on 28 January 2010, the GNSO Council approved a policy
development process (PDP) on the topic of vertical integration between
registries and registrars;

 

Whereas the VI Working Group has produced its Revised Initial Report and
has presented it to the GNSO Council on 18 August; and,

 

Whereas, the GNSO Council recognizes that the Revised Initial Report
does not include any recommendations that have achieved a consensus
within the VI Working Group, and instead reflects the current state of
the work of the VI Working Group;

 

Whereas, the GNSO Council has reviewed the Revised Initial Report, and
desires to forward the Revised Initial Report to the ICANN Board;

 

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

 

RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council appreciates the hard work and tremendous
effort shown by each member of the VI PDP working group in developing
the Revised Initial Report on an expedited basis;

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Council hereby agrees to forward the Revised
Initial Report to the ICANN Board as a snapshot of the current state of
the ongoing deliberations of the VI Working Group with the understanding
that the VI Working Group will continue to work through these issues to
attempt to produce consensus recommendations in a final report.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that this resolution is not an endorsement or approval
by the GNSO Council of the contents of the Revised Initial Report at
this time;     

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council directs Staff to make the
appropriate notifications to the ICANN Secretary and to the community.
