Berry:
This can't work. If there is cross ownership and no contractual and functional 
separation then it's not Cross Ownership it's Vertical Integration.

VI Team,



My suggestion is a combination of Avri's & Milton's definition for CO.  If I 
recall from the Adobe chat, Avri could accept the combination.



My tweek:



Cross ownership" (CO) is defined as the controlling or minority ownership of a 
share of a registry by a registrar, or vice-versa and exists in two forms:

·         An entity operating with contractual and functional separation and 
equal access arrangements required by ICANN policies & contracts - or -

·         An entity operating without contractual and functional separation and 
is not required to offer equal access



Perhaps my use of "entity" could use some adjustment.



Thanks, B

Dear All,



Attached please find a revised charter, which is redlined to include the 
comments received on today's call.   I will update the WIKI, but thought it 
would be useful for you to see the changes in a word document as well.



Best regards,



Margie

Subject: [gnso-vi-feb10] Main deadlines following today's call





Thanks to all for your participation in today's call.



Just a quick reminder of the deadlines we set for ourselves during the call.



Suggestions for both the objectives and the definitions should be submitted to 
this list NLT Thursday Feb, 11. Discussions and edits to these should end 
Monday Feb 15. Staff and I will then work to turn the team's consensus points 
into final objectives and definitions for the charter by Tuesday Feb 16.



During this period, I would also encourage any comments on the rest of the 
proposed charter, i.e. the milestones.



I would like to be able to aim for a finalised charter by the end of next week, 
i.e. Friday Feb 19.



Margie, would you please start the discussion off by sending to the list the 
edited/amended versions of the objectives and definitions as discussed during 
today's call?



Thanks,



Stéphane
