RE: [nc-transfer] Official gTLD Statement on the Wait List Service -- clarification, and looking ahead to the continued work of the TF

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@neustar.us>]

According to our Agreements with ICANN, the registries are required to seek
approval from ICANN (note I did not say the DNSO, or a policy body within
ICANN) for any pricing (or changes to prices) new registry services. It was
never contemplated by the registries that the DNSO (or any policy body)
would have jurisdiction over such terms and conditions.  

In our view, and as one who was very active in the contract negotiations
with ICANN on behalf of NeuLevel, pricing was never considered a policy
matter.

Jeff,

I am curious.  If you believe that things such as the WLS are
inappropriate for the task force and even for ICANN to regulate then why
not just implement them wihtout seeking approval?  Why are you seeking
ICANN approval for an ammendment to Appendix G in the first place?
