Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Benefits of Cross Owenship - Presentation

Jeff,

Don't the existing contracts  (e.g. MOBI) already address this (my boldface 
below):

7.1 (c)  Restrictions on Acquisition of Ownership or Controlling Interest in 
Registrar. Registry Operator shall not acquire, directly or indirectly, control 
of, or a greater than fifteen percent ownership interest in, any 
ICANN-accredited registrar.

Are you asking for control language in addition to that?
