	From the Beijing mtg of ICANN - There is a real concern about the 
	disparity of requirement;

	the pre 2009 contracts,
	the 2009 contracts,
	the proposed 2013 contracts.

	unfortunately the 2013 contract language is pretty much baked
	and the only wiggle room is bringing the old contracts into compliance 
	with the 2013 text.  The trigger for the change now is the introduction
	of new TLDs. 

	the one other avenue is to take this ti the ATRT2 folks and get this 
	included as a matter of ICANN perfomance.


	OR - just move to a registrar who gives you what you want and not
	empower ICANN with the ability to set/control operational choice.


	YMMV of course.
