I urge everyone to read Milton's blog post (below) - it really does give a good sense of where things stand in the Working Group, and for those members who have not been following the vertical integration issue closely, provides an excellent place to catch up!

Re: Status of VI WG Efforts
I just blogged about this. It’s a short summary but gives you all the essence.

Subject: [NCSG-NCUC-DISCUSS] Status of VI WG Efforts
Can someone in the VI WG provide an update on how things are going? There is a lot of traffic on the Council list indicating that it is possible the WG may not have consensus on important points before the Board meeting in September. I think many would agree that allowing the current language in DAG4 to remain unchanged is problematic.
I certainly hope the single registrant/private registry exception has support. As I mentioned in Brussels, this exclusion is important for not-for-profit organizations or other entities that may consider a new gTLD for purposes that are not driven by a profit motive, but rather, to create a safer place to execute its mission or to deliver its services. Many companies and not-for-profit organizations that are considering new gTLDs may not intend to offer registrations to the public.
Thanks,
Debbie
