> Dear All,
>
> The GNSO Council has initiated a policy development process (PDP)  
> on the topic of Vertical Integration between Registrars and  
> Registries.  At its 10 March 2010 meeting, the GNSO Council   
> formed  a working group to perform the activities of this PDP, and  
> is now seeking volunteers to serve on the working group.
>
> This working group will evaluate and propose policy recommendations  
> for new gTLDs and existing gTLDs on the topic of vertical  
> integration between registries and registrars.   The working group  
> expects to define the range of restrictions on vertical separation  
> that are currently in effect, to serve as a baseline to evaluate  
> future proposals. The work will be done an expedited basis, with an  
> expected completion date of 30 June 2010, and will follow the  
> parameters of the charter approved by the GNSO Council for this PDP.
>
> If you would like to participate in this working group as a  
> volunteer, kindly respond by email to   
> <[log in to unmask]> by Monday,  22 March.     You  
> will need to submit your Statement of Interest in order to serve on  
> this working group.  The template for the Statement of Interest  is  
> described in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines.
>
> The working group plans to schedule its first meeting during the  
> week of  22-26 March 2010.  At that meeting,  the first agenda item  
> will be to select the Chair of the working group.    The chair is  
> expected to serve his/her duties in a neutral manner, in accordance  
> with the GNSO Working Group guidelines.      Please be prepared to  
> nominate and vote an individual to serve as chair for this working  
> group.
