>> Dear All,
>>  
>> The Registries Stakeholder Group [RySG] would like to propose a friendly 
>> amendment to the Vertical Integration Charter circulated by Stéphane.
>>  
>> For purposes of accuracy and consistency, we believe that Objective #4 
>> should be revised to read: ?To identify and clearly articulate the 
>> differences between the current restrictions and practices concerning 
>> registry-registrar separation and equivalent access, on the one hand, and 
>> the options described in the most recent version of the DAG and supporting 
>> documents[1] and changes considered by staff, on the other hand.?
>>  
>> The words ?equivalent access? in yellow would replace the words ?equal 
>> access? that are in the current version of Objective #4. We understand that 
>> the Charter Group has recognized the difference between ?equal access? and 
>> ?equivalent access? in its deliberations and has adopted ?equivalent access? 
>> in other parts of the Charter.
>>  
>> More generally, the RySG notes that the proposed working definitions in the 
>> Charter are neither accurate nor complete and, in certain cases, they 
>> represent policy statements.  The RySG underscores the importance of 
>> developing standalone definitions for each element of vertical integration.  
>> However, these definitions should be developed by experts in competition and 
>> antitrust matters and derived from, where possible, language in ICANN 
>> contracts and ICANN documentation that uses the relevant terms.     
>>  
>> Many thanks.

>> [1] The working group understands that the DAG is a fluid document.  As a 
>> result, the working group will conduct its activities based upon the version
