[ispcp] Vertical Integration PDP Decision

Dear colleagues, during our next call we should also discuss the "Initiation of a PDP about vertical separation of Registries and Registrars" which is to be decided at the next council meeting. You can find the Issues Report on Vertical Integration at http://gnso.icann.org/issues/vertical-integration/report-04dec09-en.pdf <http://gnso.icann.org/issues/vertical-integration/report-04dec09-en.pdf

It recommends that a PDP not be initiated at this time. Are you comfortable with this recommendation? If not, would you recommend initiating a PDP at this time? Or would you recommend delaying the decision again? Deadline for a council motion is Wednesday, 20 January. Best regards Wolf-Ulrich
