ICANN Ends Bar on Registry/Registrar Integration
posted by michael on Wednesday November 10 2010, @05:01AM
ICANN has just resolved:
Resolved, (2010.11.05.02), the Board directs the CEO to include the following principles relating to registry-registrar
cross-ownership in the forthcoming version of the Applicant Guidebook.
1. ICANN will not restrict cross-ownership between registries and registrars. Registry operators are defined as the registry operator and all other relevant parties relating to the registry services.
ICANN's announcement:
"In the absence of existing policy or new bottom-up policy recommendations, the Board saw no rationale for placing restrictions
on cross-ownership;" said Peter Dengate Thrush, Chairman of the Board. "Any possible abuses can be better addressed by properly
targeted mechanisms. Co-ownership rules are not an optimal technique in this area."
Some folks are very happy.
