Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Executive Summary edit

[Antony Van Couvering <avc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Kathy -- I would amend this slightly because it was not just "public 
interest" that was the motivation -- it was also fairness to TLD operators, 
regardless of whether there was a public interest dimension.

So, I would change this as follows, removing your brackets so as not to confuse 
further.  CAPS means additions; "XXXX" on either side means deletion:

[Executive Summary] Another principle that is moving toward a consensus of the 
Working Group support is the principle that in the event ICANN adopts a 
requirement of XXXXstrictXXXX separation between registrars and registries, an 
exceptions procedure should be incorporated into the New GTLD Program XXXXbased 
on certain public interest needs where those needs would not otherwise be 
addressed, possiblyXXXX to includeXXXXdXXXX “community” TLDs and “orphaned” 
TLDs AMONG OTHERS. 

A clean version would read as follows:
[Executive Summary] Another principle that is moving toward a consensus of the 
Working Group support is the principle that in the event ICANN adopts a 
requirement of separation between registrars and registries, an exceptions 
procedure should be incorporated into the New GTLD Program, to 
include“community” TLDs and “orphaned” TLDs, among others.
