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

["Mike Rodenbaugh" <icann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Agree with Milton, but should broaden from SRSU to "Single-Registrant", to
leave possibility for SRMU models that I believe are conceptually supported
by most WG members (Free Traders and others), and are likely to be most
desirable to major companies/brands.

Not bad, Mikey!

I like the first point and think it is supported by the GAC statement as
well. 

Could we strengthen the third point - I think SRSU had enough support from
all sides to say something stronger than "explored further" - more like "A
significant part of the demand for new gTLDs may come from SRSU TLDs and any
exceptions policy should allow for them"

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.
