Councillors, please find below my status report for the VI WG. Vertical Integration Policy Development Process (VI PDP) - Chairs Roberto Gaetano and Mikey O'Connor - Council Liaison - Stephane van Gelder - May 10, 2010 The working group has been receiving and examining a number of proposals submitted by members suggesting various implementation guidelines for VI or separation. A plan for delivering a final proposal has been drafted, including dates up to and beyond the Brussels meeting. The WG had a session with economists Salop and Wright to delve further into the rationale for or against VI. A comparison matrix of proposals has been drafted and is being used by the WG to attempt to coalesce around a single proposal, which would be the WG's final proposal. The WG will review both public comments and constituency/SG comments in order to incorporate them in its final proposal. Thanks, Stéphane Van Gelder

Councillors, please find below my status report for the VI WG. Vertical Integration Policy Development Process (VI PDP) - Chairs Roberto Gaetano and Mikey O'Connor - Council Liaison - Stephane van Gelder – June 2, 2010 The working group has organised direct confrontations with the different proposal advocates with the aim of establishing consensus for a common proposal. Now that DAGv4 has been published, the WG will examine the VI proposal it contains in order to ascertain possible effects on the group's timeline. The WG has 3 meetings planned for Brussels. On Saturday June, 19, the WG will meet F2F for the first time and work on preparation for the WG co-chairs' meeting with the GNSO Council on Sunday June, 20. There will also be a VI workshop open to all on Wednesday June, 23. In order to maximise its chances of reaching its objectives within the agreed-upon timeline, the WG has started a 2nd weekly conference call. Therefore, the WG is now meeting 3 times a week: 2 full group calls and one WG leaders call to organise the WG's weekly work. Stéphane
