II.D.2.ii only refers to the concept that the Registrar agrees that an
anti-warehousing clause would be an appropriate consensus policy for ICANN
to adopt and include in the Registrar agreement. It doesn't actually specify
that anti-warehousing *is* a policy.

Hadn't seen it, but then again, I probably reviewed the documents as quickly
as everyone else ;)

Not at all. As with anything, it would have to depend on the actual wording
of the policy itself, but I have no problems with the general concept of a
policy that specifically excluded warehousing as appropriate behavior...
