Dear Councillors,



Please find the results of the motion to commence a  Policy Development Process

on Vertical Integration proposed by Mike Rodenbaugh and seconded by Debra

Hughes with amendments



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 Policy Development Process (PDP) on the issue for a period

of 1-2 years;



Whereas, notwithstanding the recommendations in the Issues Report, the GNSO

Council has decided to initiate a PDP on vertical integration between

registries and registrars; and

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, that the GNSO Council shall convene a Working Group to

fulfill the requirements of the PDP, including a review of ICANN Staff's prior

work with respect to vertical integration, and develop recommendations

accordingly; and



FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Working Group shall deliver its Final Report to the

GNSO Council no later than sixteen weeks from the date of this resolution.
