Subject: [council] Interim Report on Vertical Integration Between Registrars
and Registries (Phase I)

 

Dear Councilors,

 

On behalf of the VI PDP Working Group, I am pleased to inform you that the
VI Working Group has published its Interim Report on Vertical Integration
between Registrars and Registries (Phase I).  This Interim Report describes
the absence of a consensus within the VI Working Group for any
recommendations for the first round of new gTLDs (Phase I of the PDP).
With Phase I of the PDP complete,  the VI Working Group intends to suspend
its activities pending further  instructions from the GNSO Council for
conducting Phase II of the PDP, which is expected to  focus on developing a
long term solution for both new gTLD and existing gTLDs.     

 

Please note that due to its size, the Interim Report is posted on the WIKI
page for the VI Working Group below, and will be posted on the GNSO Council
website shortly.
