Status of VI WG Efforts

[Mary Wong]

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!
 
Cheers

I just blogged about this. It’s a short summary but gives you all the
essence.

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
