<p class=MsoNormal>Organization of the Analysis</p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The analysis is mostly contained in two tables. In Table 1
contains an assessment of whether the Deletes Task Force recommendations that
relate to Registrars or Registries are implementable, the relative cost of
implementation, and the level of support from registrars.</p>
<p class=MsoNormal> </p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Table 2 contains information on issues associated with the
recommendations that will need to be considered during implementation, and also
where appropriate additional or alternative text to strengthen or clarify the
existing recommendation.</p>
