Status of VI WG Efforts

[Milton L Mueller]

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
