Margie,

When does Staff expect to publish the "new registry-registrar separation
model" for discussion?

Mike,

We have analyzed the length of time associated with recent PDPs, and the
average time from initiation to council vote is 406 days (see attached
summary).   When you factor in the fact that this issue is complex and
contentious,   this PDP may take longer than the average, and most
likely longer than the 16 weeks referenced in the GNSO resolution.   
The divergence of opinions experienced to date in  developing the
charter for this PDP seems to support this conclusion.      Also, we
need to account for the time necessary to obtain Board approval and to
develop the implementation details associated with the new policy, which
further delays the commencement of the new policy.
 
Obviously, we will support the GNSO’s efforts to conclude this PDP in
an expedited manner, but want to make sure that we are realistic about
what is possible.



Best Regards,
 
Margie

The Council motion also addressed the timing issue, prioritizing the
work by putting this PDP on a very quick path to completion.  
 
Hearing from Staff that it will take ‘years to conclude’, at the
outset, is disheartening and has no basis in fact.  Council’s track
record on PDPs in the past few years indicates that they go much faster
than that, as Staff ought to be well aware.

Stéphane and Adrian,
 
Yes,  the Issues Report  on Vertical Integration discussed this issue 
(see page 24 of
http://gnso.icann.org/issues/vertical-integration/report-04dec09-en.pdf).
   Because the outcome of a PDP is uncertain (it is possible that no
recommendation will be produced or that the PDP will take years to
conclude),  the implementation activities will continue to be pursued in
parallel with the GNSO’s PDP activities.     
 
Best Regards,

Isn't this what Staff told us in the issues report, that the work Staff
are doing on this for the DAG would continue whether (I hesitate to use
the term "despite") the Council initiated a PDP or not?

Council,

 

Further to my previous email please see the following from the ICANN
website
(http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-4-15feb10-en.htm);

 

Vertical Integration (aka Registry/Registrar Separation)

Based on debates on the subject held at the ICANN meetings in Seoul,
discussion during the consultation with certain community
representatives held on 7 January 2010 in Washington D.C., and ongoing
study, ICANN will propose for community comment a new registry-registrar
separation model for inclusion in the next draft of the gTLD agreement.
Additionally, the Board and community members will be discussing the
issue in Nairobi.

 

ICANN are proposing what?

 

Huh?

 

What about the PDP?

 

I’m still confused!
