Meeting

 

Hello everyone,

 

Please ignore any email you may see from me re-submitting the VI motion,
as Caroline's on the same subject was sent immediately prior. As such, I
am happy to second the motion as made by Caroline (below).

 

BTW email delivery delays to/from me are probably due to Franklin Pierce
Law Center having - just yesterday! - officially become the University
of New Hampshire (UNH) School of Law, through a formal affiliation with
UNH. Ironically, we have spent much of the previous week transitioning
our web presence to our new .edu domain :) (which is
http://law.unh.edu).

 

Thanks and cheers

Mary

[council] Re-submission of the VI Motion for Sep 8th Council Meeting 

Dear Council Members,

 

In advance of our next Council meeting on 8th September and in order to
meet the submission deadline of today, I would like to re-submit the
Motion to Forward the Revised Initial Report on the Vertical Integration
PDP to the ICANN Board. That motion is set out below.

 

Many thanks,

 

Kind regards,

 

Caroline.

 

**************************************************************

 

Whereas, on 28 January 2010, the GNSO Council approved a policy
development process (PDP) on the topic of vertical integration between
registries and registrars;

 

Whereas the VI Working Group has produced its Revised Initial Report and
has presented it to the GNSO Council on 18 August; and,

 

Whereas, the GNSO Council recognizes that the Revised Initial Report
does not include any recommendations that have achieved a consensus
within the VI Working Group, and instead reflects the current state of
the work of the VI Working Group;

 

Whereas, the GNSO Council has reviewed the Revised Initial Report, and
desires to forward the Revised Initial Report to the ICANN Board;

 

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:

 

RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council appreciates the hard work and tremendous
effort shown by each member of the VI PDP working group in developing
the Revised Initial Report on an expedited basis;

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Council hereby agrees to forward the Revised
Initial Report to the ICANN Board as a snapshot of the current state of
the ongoing deliberations of the VI Working Group with the understanding
that the VI Working Group will continue to work through these issues to
attempt to produce consensus recommendations in a final report.

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that this resolution is not an endorsement or approval
by the GNSO Council of the contents of the Revised Initial Report at
this time;     

 

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council directs Staff to make the
appropriate notifications to the ICANN Secretary and to the community.
