Provided the ALL maintainers agree to certain contractual
stipulations.

Such as to maintain complete public information services on domain
ownership and contact info according to acceptable standards. Such as
that the maintainer agrees to transfer ALL IP rights to the TLD and
the relevent related material (such as the database) to ICANN for
reassignment should it default on the contract, or otherwise be unable
or unwilling to continue operations. etc

You have seen these suggestions before Tony.

Comments on them?
