RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] FW: CBUC Position Statement on VI

["Hammock, Statton" <shammock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Berry, 

 

Thanks for the summary. I need to correct, however, one statement that I 
believe is mischaracterizes Network Solutions position on the separation issue. 
 

 

In the second paragraph under "Developments" the BC Position states that 
"Network Solutions has called for a continuation of the structural separation 
requirements between registries and registrars, but some liberalization in the 
cross-ownership requirements."  That statement is incorrect as Network 
Solutions has not called for a continuation of structural separation 
requirements. 

 

I just wanted to make that clear.   

 

Thanks, 

 

Statton

The CBUC position to the VI WG  forwarded From: Berry Cobb 

 

 

VI WG,

 

Attached is the CBUC position statement from Aug 2009 regarding the issue of 
Vertical Integration.  While several CBUC members participate on the VI WG, no 
substantial change has occurred requiring modification to our consensus.  The 
CBUC reserves a change to our consensus position, if any, when the VI WG 
creates its final report and opens the final community comment period.

 

In summary, Our present consensus position basically aligns to the ICANN board 
resolution in Nairobi and we are pleased with the substantial and adequate 
discussion with respect to VI/CO & also Single Registrant TLDs.  The CBUC looks 
forward to the analysis of proposals by the VI WG and we are optimistic a 
solution will be created to match the expansion of gTLDs.

 

Any specific questions to the CBUC can be filed through Berry Cobb.

 

Thank you.
