Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Board resolution on Vertical Integration

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

just checking...

here's a starter-kit of bullet points that we might be able to put into a 
consensus statement;

-- Certain new gTLDs likely to be applied for in the first round may be 
unnecessarily impacted by restrictions on cross-ownership or control between 
registrar and registry.

-- There is need for a process that would allow applicants to request 
exceptions and have them considered on a case-by-case basis. 

-- The concept of Single Registrant, Single User TLDs should be explored 
further.

-- There will exist need for enhanced compliance efforts and the need for a 
detailed compliance plan in relation to the new gTLD program in general.

that's an ever-so-slightly edited version of the principles list...

i think there are two areas of consensus -- 1) the need for exceptions and 2) 
the importance of capable compliance.
