In this case, it's quite wel "we cannot come up with this policy" - 
since the failure concerns all levels of the process, including the 
DNSO and the GA.

In fact, trying to get such a policy may be an interesting exercise 
for the process - in particular since there may be strong objections 
by those registrars who do warehouse domains...

"Registrar warehousing WG", anyone?
