RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] First Draft of VI Initial Report v.1
Hi Margie,
Tx for a report that encapsulates well our range of views, our
differences, and our work in a positive and constructive way.
Appreciate it!
I would like to throw my hat into the ring on editing and add a bit to
the end of the Section 4, the Salop & Wright discussion.
(Formatted in attachment and included in text below).
--------------------
[begin addition] It should be noted that Professors Salop and Wright
were asked about "Equivalent Access," and the impact their proposed
changes would make to Equivalent Access, in a discussion with the
Working Group members. They responded said that they had not considered
the issue. ICANN's Equivalent Access provisions require gTLD registries
to treat all ICANN-accredited registrars equally, and provide registry
data, service, technology and support on an equal basis to all
registrars. It is a policy that the GNSO adopted in its Principles,
Recommendations & Implementation Guidelines (October 22, 2008) with
"support from all GNSO Constituencies:"
Recommendation 19:
"Registries must use only ICANN accredited registrars in registering
domain names and may not discriminate among such accredited registrars."

Subject: [gnso-vi-feb10] First Draft of VI Initial Report v.1
Importance: High
Dear All,
In preparation for the call VI call tomorrow, please find attached the
First Draft of the Initial Report for your review and consideration.
As you review this Draft, please note that:
* Due to the size of the document (currently over 90 pages!) I
have excluded the annexes and provide only the text of the report.
* The SRSU description is especially thin and needs further
content from IPC representatives and from NCSG representatives.
* Please disregard any formatting issues as I will be doing a
more thorough review of the document as it becomes more final.
* Once the results of the poll are in, someone will need to
draft content with any observations that to be included in Section 6.
Unfortunately, I will not be on tomorrow's call, but Marika will manage
the call in my absence. I will be in an all-day meeting in MDR, and
will follow up with Marika after the VI call.
Best regards,
Margie
