While there will also be time in February March to comment on the process, I would like to remind you that there is a deadline of the end of January for budget requests. There is a form in this deck that has been created for that purpose. As I mentioned in my previous email, I think it is very important for the GNSO Council (in addition to Stakeholder Groups and Constituencies) to consider whether you have budget recommendations or priorities to submit. Examples of requests to consider might be: 1) to assure that funding for Whois studies is available next year 2) for any incremental policy-development-related expenses, such as costs to retain an independent expert or for a face-to-face meeting of a working group, etc... Staff is happy to assist in preparing the request forms for any recommendations the Council may have. Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can be helpful in any way.

Thank you very much. Kind regards, Glen 1. Motion to Terminate The Policy Development Process on Vertical Integration Between Registries and Registrars. 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 published its Interim Report and has presented it to the GNSO Council on 9 November 2010, describing the results of the first phase of its deliberations; Whereas, the Working Group is unable to reach a consensus on any recommendations for the GNSO Council to consider with regard to vertical integration and cross-ownership between Registrars and Registries in time for the first round of new gTLD applications (Phase I); Whereas, in the absence of guidance from the GNSO Council, the ICANN Board has voted to allow new gTLD registries to own registrars, and has opted not to create new rules prohibiting registrars from applying for or operating new gTLD registries; With the publication of the Interim Report, the VI Working Group has suspended its activities pending further instructions from the GNSO Council; and Whereas, in light of these recent developments, the GNSO Council desires to terminate the PDP on Vertical Integration between Registries and Registrars. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT: RESOLVED, that the GNSO Council recognizes that, in light of these recent developments, there is no longer a need or desire to pursue further policy development activities with respect to this issue; RESOLVED FURTHER, that the GNSO Council formally ends the PDP on Vertical Integration between Registries and Registrars without making any recommendations for specific policy changes to ICANNs Board of Directors; RESOLVED FURTHER, that the VI PDP Working Group is hereby disbanded. The GNSO Council appreciates the hard work and tremendous effort shown by each member of the VI PDP Working group in producing the Interim Report, and sincerely thanks the Co-Chairs, Mike OConnor and Roberto Gaetano, for their leadership in this PDP. WHEREAS, on 8 September 2010 the GNSO Council endorsed GNSO participation in a joint working group with other interested Supporting Organizations (SOs) and Advisory Committee (ACs) to provide guidance to the ICANN new gTLD Implementation Team and the ICANN Board in relation to the implementation of the Council's Recommendation 6 regarding strings that contravene generally-accepted legal norms relating to morality and public order that are recognized under international principles of law; WHEREAS, the Recommendation 6 cross-community working group (CWG) was established in accordance with the Terms of Reference also approved by the GNSO Council on 8 September 2010; AND WHEREAS, the CWG has since delivered a set of recommendations regarding implementation of the GNSO Council's Recommendation 6 for new gTLDs to the community; RESOLVED, the Council thanks the CWG and its participants, from the GNSO and other SOs and the ACs, for their hard work; and acknowledges that the CWG recommendations do not constitute Consensus Policy or GNSO policy development otherwise within the purview of the GNSO; RESOLVED FURTHER, the Council recommends that each Stakeholder Group and Constituency provide feedback as soon as possible on the CWG's recommendations to the Council. 3.
