[council] Vertical Integration Recommendations for the New gTLD Program

[Gomes, Chuck]

Mr. Peter Dengate-Thrush
Chair - ICANN Board
Re: Vertical Integration Recommendations for the New gTLD Program
Dear Peter,
This is in response to Section 2.11 (Vertical Integration) of the 25
September 2010 Adopted Board Resolutions
(http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25sep10-en.htm) in which
the ICANN Board inquired whether the GNSO has achieved a consensus
position on the topic of vertical integration with regard to New gTLDs.
Please be advised that the GNSO Council was notified by the Vertical
Integration PDP Working Group (VI WG) that it was unable to reach a
consensus position on the issue of vertical integration. Although the WG
has been diligently evaluating this issue for several months, it is
unable to deliver recommendations that are supported by a consensus of
its members by the ICANN Board's deadline of 8 October 2010.
Sincerely,
Chuck Gomes
Chair
GNSO Council
