RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] RE: Notice: VI Call Thursday with the Economists Salop/Wright at 20:UTC

Mikey,

Their report is out there for review by any of us. Other economists were
also consulted by ICANN, PIR/Afilias, etc. Are we going to schedule
calls with all of them? I believe it is much better to point the WG to
the relevant documents than to begin what could be a series of time
consuming calls that ulimately serve very little if any purpose.

hi to all,

this is essentially a carry-over item from the very first agenda, much
delayed due to scheduling troubles (first ours, then theirs, then ours).
 i've been signaling that this is going to happen in my "call for agenda
items posts" the last couple weeks.


imagine this is the first week of the WG and we're all reviewing prior
foundation documents and hearing from the people who produced them. 
this is an opportunity to ask questions, solicit ideas, etc.  we're not
expecting that this will generate huge shifts in position or direction,
but is a good resource for those on the WG who are perhaps less familiar
with the run-up to the working group than others.  that's part of the
reason we're scheduling the call offset from the weekly working-group
calls.  it's to be considered a resource call rather than a
decision-making call.

Hi Margie and Mikey, apologies if I missed it in an earlier email or
conversation, but when did the VIWG decide to invite Salop and
Wright’s participation? Thanks, Keith

Salop/Wright at 20:UTC
Importance: High


 
Dear All,
 
As Mikey indicated earlier, we have invited the economists,  Steven
Salop and Joshua Wright to address the VI Working group.   As you may
know,  these economists have published a series of documents related to
the issue of Vertical Integration, and are posted on our WIKI Resource
Page at:
 
https://st.icann.org/vert-integration-pdp/index.cgi?https_st_icann_org_vert_integration_pdp_index_cgi_vi_resources
 
 
We have confirmed that they are available on this Thursday, April 29  at
20:00 UTC for one hour  (4:00pm EDT).    I will ask Gisella to circulate
 the telephone details to the VI Working Group,  but wanted to bring
this to your attention as quickly as possible.   Due to their limited
availability, we were unable to use a doodle to schedule their meeting
with this group.   The call will be recorded and transcribed for those
unable to attend on such short notice.
 
Best Regards,
 
Margie
