[council] VI WG status report to GNSO Council

[Stéphane Van Gelder <stephane.vangelder@xxxxxxxxx>]

Councillors, please find below my status report for the VI WG.


Vertical Integration Policy Development Process (VI PDP) - Chairs Roberto 
Gaetano and Mikey O'Connor - Council Liaison - Stephane van Gelder - May 10, 
2010

The working group has been receiving and examining a number of proposals 
submitted by members suggesting various implementation guidelines for VI or 
separation.

A plan for delivering a final proposal has been drafted, including dates up to 
and beyond the Brussels meeting.

The WG had a session with economists Salop and Wright to delve further into the 
rationale for or against VI.

A comparison matrix of proposals has been drafted and is being used by the WG 
to attempt to coalesce around a single proposal, which would be the WG's final 
proposal.

The WG will review both public comments and constituency/SG comments in order 
to incorporate them in its final proposal.

Thanks,

Stéphane Van Gelder
