        Dear Peter,

        This is in response to Section 2.11 (Vertical Integration) of
the 25 September 2010 Adopted Board Resolutions
(http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25sep10-en.htm
<http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-25sep10-en.htm> ) in which
the ICANN Board inquired whether the GNSO has achieved a consensus
position on the topic of vertical integration with regard to New gTLDs.

        Please be advised that the GNSO Council was notified by the
Vertical Integration PDP Working Group (VI WG) that it was unable to
reach a consensus position on the issue of vertical integration.
Although the WG has been diligently evaluating this issue for several
months, it is unable to deliver recommendations that are supported by a
consensus of its members by the ICANN Board's deadline of 8 October
2010.

        Sincerely,

        Chuck Gomes
        Chair
        GNSO Council
