this being the case, it seems that we may only really have two  
choices under discussion at the moment.  But Jon laid out 3 options  
and even though I am not sure who suggested Option 2, it seems to now  
be part of the proposal set.

        Details are an implementation issue, though we may include  
guidance if
        this proposal gets support

         The discretion is ICANN's.  My assumption is that the  
council might want to give
         guidance on this if this proposal has support.

          this is the Renewal Expectancy/Presumption of Renewal  
Option as essentially expressed
          in the current .com etc contracts.

Since there was a misunderstanding, at least on my part, of what we  
were asking the constituencies to express support on, I request that  
each of the constituencies restate their preference based on the list  
above.  Hopefully the discussions you have already had, or are  
having, with your constituencies will make it possible to express  
this preference before the 20 Dec deadline.   If not, please do so as  
soon as possible.

I also ask the individual, non constituency, participants in the TF  
to also (re)state their preferences.

Thanks and apologies for the confusion.
