Re: [ga] Re: Board descisions

["Roberto Gaetano" <ga_chair@hotmail.com>]

Vint,
Thanks for the clarification below, but it seems to me that the new contract 
with Verisign, if ratified by the Board, will be a major change in policy.
The idea of renouncing to the principle of separation Registrar/Registry, 
even if it may justified by the new conditions (which I personally do not 
believe, but that's a personal opinion), should be discussed by the DNSO.
The issue came up today in both the GA and the Name Council.

Going back just to the previous ICANN meeting, I remember you making the 
remark, a propos the IOD application for .web, that it was an "old way" to 
conceive the management of a TLD, with no separation between Registry and 
Registrar.
What has changed in few months, and why the DNSO has not participated to the 
cahnge in polcy?

I join the many people that today were asking for the DNSO to be involve, 
and I will bring this message tomorrow to the Open Forum.
I would appreciate other statements on the list on this subject.

Thanks
Roberto
