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

hi all,

this is the revised version of the bullet-points that Roberto proposed to the 
list -- thanks to all who contributed during our call.  we'd like to leave them 
open for comments over the next 24 hours, and then forward them to the Board in 
anticipation of their meeting this Thursday.

thanks,

mikey



•       Compliance is key (the working group spent a considerable amount of 
time discussing the issue).  Whatever the rules established for the new TLDs, 
we need adequate leadership, processes and resources in place to enforce them;
•       There is no consensus on either full vertical integration or full 
vertical separation;
•       We have compiled a list of potential harms that may be associated with 
either complete separation or complete integration. We have not finalized the 
list, we have not focused on potential harms associated with partial 
integration or separation, and we do not have consensus on the list we do have.
•       While the WG has not identified exact examples (although some cases 
like cultural TLDs or brand TLDs have been discussed), there is a general 
feeling that some exceptions could be granted.
