II. Contingency recommendations in event the Board rejects the TF prime recommendation.

Should the ICANN board not accept the policy recommendations noted above
and grant Verisign's request for a change to its agreement and a 12 month
trial of its WLS, we would alternatively recommend that WLS be approved with
conditions:

A. RGP. The introduction of WLS is dependent on the implementation and proven
(for not less than six months) practice envisaged in the proposed
Redemption Grace Period for Deleted Names policy and practice and the
establishment of a standard deletion practise.
Yes:ccTLD, ISPCP, GA, NonC, IP, Registrars, BC
No:gTLD
7 YES 1 NO

B. Deletions. Several Constituencies remain concerned that a standard deletion practise
be established and implemented. Some TF members believe that this could be
considered separately from WLS.

(CHOICE OF ONE OF THREE):

1) Standard Deletion practise should be established at same time as WLS and
implemented before WLS.
Yes: ccTLD, ISPCP, GA,  Registrars, BC
5 YES

2) Standard deletion practise should be established, but need not be in
place before
WLS is implemented.
Yes: IP, NonC
2 YES

3) Standard deletion practise should be considered separately.
Yes: gTLD
1 YES

C. Information/notice. (CHOICE OF ONE OF TWO).

C. 1. The WLS include a requirement that notice be provided by the Registry
(through the registrar) to the existing registrant of a domain name when a
WLS option is taken out against that registrant's domain name.
Yes: GA, NonC,
2 YES
                       
C. 2. Information should be available to the incumbent domain
name holder when a WLS has been put on the name.
Yes: ccTLD, ISPCP, IP, BC, .Registrars
Abstain: gTLD,
5 YES         1 Abstain

D. Transparency. The WLS include a requirement for full transparency as to who has placed
a WLS option on a domain name and the registrar that actions the option.
Yes: ccTLD, ISPCP, GA, NonC, Registrars, BC
No: IP
Abstain: gTLD
6 YES         1 NO       1 Abstain

E. Cost.  WLS should be cost based, consistent with previous considerations for
approval of Registry services by the ICANN Board.
Yes: ccTLD, ISPCP, GA, , Registrars, BC
Abstain: IP, gTLD, NonC
5 YES        3 Abstain
