Vertical Integration: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:04, 23 July 2012

Vertical Integration (VI) is a business structure in which the various functions of the Registry Operator and the Registrar are handled by a single body. This single body is either owned or is under supervision of the same company that supports the specific gTLD; alternatively, the controlling body can be a partnered company that is given the contract of the gTLD. The Registry Operator is not required to provide equivalent access and non-discriminatory access to non-affiliated registrars to sell names under its gTLD.^[1]^[2]

Related policies are developed by ICANN's Vertical Integration Working Group (VIWG).
