- Thread-topic: Draft Motions on Vertical Integration
At my request, Margie developed two different draft motions regarding the issue
of whether or not the Council should initiate a PDP on vertical integration of
registries and registrars; please see the drafts below. If anyone is
interested in making one of these motions or a variation of one of them, I
encourage you to do so. A third alternative motion would be one to delay our
decision on this until a later Council meeting.
The Council Operating Procedures deadline for motions for our 28 Jan meeting is
tomorrow, 20 January. Whether any motion is made or not by tomorrow, I will
ask Glen to post them tomorrow to satisfy the posting deadline.
Chuck

Subject: Draft Motions on Vertical Integration
Hi Chuck,
As requested, I drafted two motions, described below, related to the VI
Issues Report for your review and consideration.
Best,
Margie
MOTION TO DEFER:
Whereas, on 24 September 2009, the GNSO Council requested ICANN Staff to
prepare an Issues Report on the topic of vertical integration between
registries and registrars;
Whereas, on 11 December 2009, the Issues Report on Vertical Integration between
Registries and Registrars was delivered to the GNSO Council;
Whereas, the Issues Report includes recommendations that the GNSO delay the
initiation of a PDP for a period of 1 - 2 years;
Now therefore, be it:
RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council has reviewed the recommendations contained in
the Issues Report, and, after consideration of the implementation timeline
associated with the New gTLD Program, declines to initiate a PDP at this time;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council recommends that any Stakeholder Group
or Constituency affected by this issue actively participate in the
implementation activities conducted by ICANN for the New gTLD Program;
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council shall reevaluate whether to initiate a
PDP on the topic of vertical integration two years after the launch of the
initial round of New gTLD applications.
MOTION TO COMMENCE A PDP:
Whereas, on 24 September 2009, the GNSO Council requested ICANN Staff to
prepare an Issues Report on the topic of vertical integration between
registries and registrars;
Whereas, on 11 December 2009, the Issues Report on Vertical Integration between
Registries and Registrars was delivered to the GNSO Council;
Whereas, the Issues Report includes recommendations that the GNSO Council delay
the initiation of a PDP for a period of 1-2 years;
Whereas, notwithstanding the recommendations in the Issue Report, the GNSO
Council has decided to initiate a PDP on Vertical Integration between
Registries and Registrars;
Whereas, the GNSO council has decided against initiating a Task force as
defined in the ICANN Bylaws;
Now therefore, be it:
RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council has reviewed the recommendations contained in
the Issues Report, and nonetheless approves the initiation of a PDP on the
topic of Vertical Integration between Registries and Registrars;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the PDP shall evaluate which policy recommendations, if
any, should be developed on the topic of vertical integration between
registrars and registries affecting both new gTLDs and existing gTLDs, as may
be possible under existing contracts and as allowed under the ICANN Bylaws;
FURTHER RESOLVED, recognizing that this PDP may not conclude its work in time
to affect the initial round of New gTLD applications, the GNSO Council
recommends that any Stakeholder Group or Constituency affected by this issue
actively participate in the implementation activities conducted by ICANN for
the New gTLD program;
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council shall convene a drafting team to
propose a draft charter for a working group to be created to fulfill the
requirements of the PDP, which draft charter to be delivered approximately
thirty (30) days from the date of this resolution.
