RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] What do we mean by "single registrant"?

[Milton L Mueller <mueller@xxxxxxx>]

Ah - another registrar protectionist.
Good to see that the big'uns and the little'Uns can agree on something - united 
against the rest of us...
If the formation of such a "Group" succeeds at blocking self-provision of 
domain names, we will have to take this outside of ICANN and to the antitrust 
authorities. 
It would be a textbook case of restraint of trade.

I agree that this concept not be pursued right now at all, as it is a
distraction from the policy the GNSO recommended to the Board, and
which the Board approved at Paris.

I propose that we form a "group" around the proposition that whatever
"single registrant" is or are (as it may be more than one distinct
thing), it is out of scope for the policy recommendation on changes,
if any, to the registry registrar separation business rule that has
existed up until the Nairobi Surprise.
