[To: nc-transfer@dnso.org]

The ballot which follows is the final ballot for the e-mail vote of the
Transfer Task Force on the Task Force recommendations on the WLS.

Recommendations were modified in a conference call meeting, July 22, 2002
where all members of the Task Force were represented except for the GA.

The Task Force representatives are asked to return their vote by private
e-mail directly to:
DNSO.Secretariat@dnso.org

by Tuesday, July 23, 2002,  at 2:00 pm (14:00) EST.


The Task Force is presented with two recommendations. You are asked to vote
on both and on each sub-element by putting [x] next to your choice.

I. Recommendation  1:  To deny the WLS:

Please vote on this:

A. The ICANN board move with all haste to implement and actively enforce the
proposed Redemptions Grace Period for Deleted Names policy and practice
Yes
No
Abstain

B. The ICANN Board reject Verisign's request to amend its agreement to
enable it to introduce its proposed WLS.
Yes
No
Abstain


C. The ICANN Board reject Verisign's request to trial the WLS for 12 months.
Yes
No
Abstain

I. Recommendation to deny the WLS:
Yes
No
Abstain


II. Recommendation:
Should the ICANN board not accept the policy recommendations noted above
and grant Verisign's request for a change to its agreement and a 12 month
trial of its WLS, we would alternatively recommend that WLS be approved with
conditions:

Please vote on this.

A. The introduction of WLS is dependent on the implementation and proven
(for not less than six months) practice envisaged in the proposed
Redemption Grace Period for Deleted Names policy and practice and the
establishment of a standard deletion practise.
Yes
No
Abstain


B. Several Constituencies remain concerned that a standard deletion practise
be established and implemented. Some TF members believe that this could be
considered separately from WLS.

VOTE ON ONLY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING THREE:

1) Standard Deletion practise should be established at same time as WLS and
implemented before WLS.
Yes
No
Abstain

2) Standard deletion practise should be established, but need not be in
place before
WLS is implemented.
Yes
No
Abstain

3) Standard deletion practise should be considered separately.
Yes
NO
Abstain

TWO OPTIONS ARE PRESENTED, for C, C. 1 and C. 2  BUT ONLY VOTE FOR ONE

(through the registrar) to the existing registrant of a domain name when a
WLS option is taken out against that registrant's domain name.

                                                  OR

C. 2. Information should be available to the encumbent domain
name holder when a WLS has been put on the name.
