Well said, Caroline. I agree we should send the whole report, acknowledge
all the work and that we hope it continues to reach as much consensus as
possible, but not suggest that we expect overall consensus from this WG.

I don't know
that we achieve anything more by just sending the Executive Summary rather than
the full report? And as regards additional commentary by the Council Wolf, I
think your first two points are covered in the original motion and I am not
sure that we can go so far as saying that we 'expect' consensus recommendations
to be made? We would all like to see this happen of course and I am quite sure
the WG will strive to achieve that but reference in the original motion to an
'attempt' to work through the issues might perhaps be better wording and a more
accurate reflection of what is going on?
I know that a motion such as this is not strictly necessary process-wise but
perhaps it does no harm for the Council to publicly acknowledge the good work
that has been done to date by the WG since such a huge effort has gone behind
it. And while several Board members are very up to date on all that is going on
with the VI WG in particular, the same might not be said of all.
Thanks

Meeting
This is a valuable hint. I'd like to come back to my suggestion just to send
the Executive Summary of the report together with some "comments"
made in the draft motion, such as
- Council recognizes that the Revised Initial Report does not include any
recommendations that have achieved a consensus within the VI Working Group, and
instead reflects the current state of the work of the VI Working Group
- no endorsement or approval by the GNSO Council of the contents of the Revised
Initial Report at this time
- the Council still expects consensus recommendations in a final report
Best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Betreff: RE: [council] Re-submission
of the VI Motion for Sep 8th Council Meeting
Note that several Board members have
been observing the working group activities, and are aware of the initial
report. There is no "requirement" to formally transmit
the report, as the report is a public document, and available to both the Board
and the staff.
The value in a motion such as that
below, is an opportunity for the Council to give some context/commentary on top
of the initial report as the body managing the policy development processes.
Regards,
Bruce Tonkin

Subject: [council] Re-submission of
the VI Motion for Sep 8th Council Meeting
Dear Council Members,
In advance of our next Council
meeting on 8th September and in order to meet the submission deadline of today,
I would like to re-submit the Motion to Forward the Revised Initial Report on
the Vertical Integration PDP to the ICANN Board. That motion is set out below.
Many thanks,
Kind regards,
Caroline.
**************************************************************
Whereas, on 28 January 2010, the
GNSO Council approved a policy development process (PDP) on the topic of
vertical integration between registries and registrars;
Whereas the VI Working Group has
produced its Revised Initial Report and has presented it to the GNSO Council on
18 August; and,
Whereas, the GNSO Council recognizes
that the Revised Initial Report does not include any recommendations that have
achieved a consensus within the VI Working Group, and instead reflects the
current state of the work of the VI Working Group;
Whereas, the GNSO Council has
reviewed the Revised Initial Report, and desires to forward the Revised Initial
Report to the ICANN Board;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT:
RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council
appreciates the hard work and tremendous effort shown by each member of the VI
PDP working group in developing the Revised Initial Report on an expedited
basis;
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the Council
hereby agrees to forward the Revised Initial Report to the ICANN Board as a
snapshot of the current state of the ongoing deliberations of the VI Working
Group with the understanding that the VI Working Group will continue to work
through these issues to attempt to produce consensus recommendations in a final
report.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that this
resolution is not an endorsement or approval by the GNSO Council of the
contents of the Revised Initial Report at this time;
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO
Council directs Staff to make the appropriate notifications to the ICANN
Secretary and to the community.
