> gTLDs.
>
> ICANN is currently in the process of finalizing the implementation details
> for the launch of new gTLDs. ICANN has posted four draft applicant
> guidebooks and a series of topic papers for public comment describing the
> manner in which ICANN proposes to implement this program. These documents
> include proposals on the topic of vertical integration and whether
> cross-ownership restrictions or other rules related to vertical integration
> should be adopted to apply to the New gTLD Program.
>
> The Initial Report describes several proposals regarding vertical
> integration that have been developed and analyzed by the VI Working Group.
> No proposal has achieved consensus support within the VI Working Group.
> These proposals are included for the purpose of seeking public comment and
> will be subject to further analysis and debate as the VI Working Group
> continues to strive to develop a consensus position to recommend to the GNSO
> Council on an expedited basis.
