Dear All,

The GNSO Council has initiated a policy development process (PDP) on the topic 
of Vertical Integration between Registrars and Registries.  At its 10 March 
2010 meeting, the GNSO Council  formed  a working group to perform the 
activities of this PDP, and is now seeking volunteers to serve on the working 
group.

This working group will evaluate and propose policy recommendations for new 
gTLDs and existing gTLDs on the topic of vertical integration between 
registries and registrars.   The working group expects to define the range of 
restrictions on vertical separation that are currently in effect, to serve as a 
baseline to evaluate future proposals. The work will be done an expedited 
basis, with an expected completion date of 30 June 2010, and will follow the 
parameters of the charter approved by the GNSO Council for this PDP.

If you would like to participate in this working group as a volunteer, kindly 
respond by email to  <gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> by Monday,  22 March.    
 You will need to submit your Statement of Interest in order to serve on this 
working group.  The template for the Statement of Interest  is described in the 
GNSO Working Group Guidelines.

The working group plans to schedule its first meeting during the week of  22-26 
March 2010.  At that meeting,  the first agenda item will be to select the 
Chair of the working group.    The chair is expected to serve his/her duties in 
a neutral manner, in accordance with the GNSO Working Group guidelines.      
Please be prepared to nominate and vote an individual to serve as chair for 
this working group.

For more information on this policy development process, please refer to:
