<DIV>Thanks, Milton and Avri. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>May I ask if anyone from NCSG intends to file a public comment, whether in your personal capacity or possibly on behalf of the group?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As just about everyone probably knows, this issue has been a "hot button" topic in the GNSO for a while, not least because it could have an impact on the introduction of new gTLDs. Unfortunately I'm completely swamped at the moment and will likely not have the bandwidth to educate myself sufficiently to draft a comment. I'm happy, however, to review and assist if others wish to.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh, and the closing date for filing comments is 12 August.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
<DIV>Mary</DIV>

<P style="BACKGROUND: white"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'" lang=FR>The GNSO Council has commenced a policy development process (PDP) on the topic of vertical integration between registrars and registries.

<P style="BACKGROUND: white"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'" lang=FR>ICANN is currently in the process of finalizing the implementation details for the launch of new gTLDs. ICANN has posted four draft applicant guidebooks and a series of topic papers for public comment describing the manner in which ICANN proposes to implement this program. These documents include proposals on the topic of vertical integration and whether cross-ownership restrictions or other rules related to vertical integration should be adopted to apply to the New gTLD Program.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
