Brian,

Given Kurt's recent email to the list, I don't see any point in sending
this note.

Mikey and Roberto,
 
I took the liberty of drafting a possible message from the VIWG to the
ICANN staff in relation to the deadline of May 14 for submissions to be
included in DAG4.  (I hope you don’t mind.)  Could we discuss this
item on the call today?
 
Regards,
Brian
 
 
 
Dear Kurt,
 
As Co-Chairs of the Vertical Integration Working Group, we write to you
concerning the approaching deadline for submissions to be included in
DAG4.  As of today, the VIWG does not have a proposal to submit for
inclusion in DAG4.  The VIWG has been working hard – with roughly 60
participants, weekly meetings and over 1500 email exchanges in a serious
attempt to produce a consensus based proposal.  While the VIWG does not
have a specific proposal at this time, we will continue to work toward
the goal of presenting a consensus based proposal to the GNSO Council
(and the Board) in advance of ICANN’s Brussels meeting.  The VIWG
requests that Staff consider keeping a placeholder in DAG4 that notes
the above expression from the VIWG pending our final report up to the
GNSO Council.
 
Best regards,
Roberto Gaetano
