I reread it and I think it parses incorrectly and leaves an ambiguity  
such the in new TLDs they are just released, while existing TLDs one  
needs new allocation methods.
recommended re-write:

We recommend that single ascii letters and numbers be released at the  
second level in future TLDs, and that those currently reserved in  
existing TLDs should be released.  This release should be contingent  
upon the development of an appropriate allocation method by the GNSO  
council.
