Dear all, The ICANN Board held a special meeting on the 5th November where they passed a resolution on New gTLDs Cross-Ownership Issues for Registries and Registrars. The board voted to allow new gTLD registries to own registrars, opting not to create new rules prohibiting registrars from applying for or operating new gTLD registries: Minutes: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/resolutions-05nov10-en.htm Announcement: http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-09nov10-en.htm Kind regards, Gabi
