> To the Names Council:
>
> This morning the ICANN Board met to consider VeriSign's 21 March 2002
> request for certain amendments to the .com and .net registry services to
> permit the offering of a Wait Listing Service for a fee.  As you are
> aware, in response to the Board's earlier request the DNSO gave advice
> on various aspects of the VeriSign request.
>
> At this morning's meeting, the ICANN Board authorized the ICANN
> President and General Counsel to conduct negotiations with VeriSign
> toward appropriate revisions to the .com and .net registry agreements to
> provide for the offering of a wait-listing service as proposed by
> VeriSign, with six additional conditions.  As you will note from the
> resolution, the Board drew heavily from the advice developed by the task
> force's efforts, which it found to be very helpful in establishing the
> conditions.  The Board is grateful to the Names Council and the task
> force for coordinating this work.
