  True the word or words "Initial" are not in the section.  It is
implied, and therefor wasn't needed.  However any good
contract language would have included the word "Initial"
in it.  This goes back to my arguments when these contracts
were being discussed (Before your time on these forums),
where I felt that the language was not very good and
specific's were not delineated adequately.  But none the less
the interpretation will be as if "Initial" was intended anyway.

  Well I can see your point here.  But that is not how the ICANN
BOD will see it I imagine, given that Verisign is the "Big Dog"
on the block.  And the fact that only one constituency, "Registry
Constituency, actually voted does not make for a "Consensus"
in any way, shape of from.  Ergo, as I indicated clearly, there
is NO real or broad consensus.  This is how the game
played, George.  We dropped the ball or in other words
we did not insist on a vote by the GA and other accredited
constituencies.  The Noncom for instance was discussing
in earnest the WLS issue but did not hold a vote on it
that I am aware of.
