ICANN Board – Vertical Integration

The board has put forward a motion to decide vertical integration once and for all. There will no cross-ownership allowed.

The board’s decision is very interesting.

They are, to quote Dennis Jennings, setting a baseline, but will bow to any policy decision that comes from the GNSO.

There is now a GNSO PDP (Policy Development Process) to discuss vertical integration.
