He's right.  The current (2001) .COM agreement includes it, and it's gone.

In the conf call with the registrars, Kurt Pritz argued that the unique 
history of the .COM TLD made it impractical to require some desirable 
things like rebid.  But since I don't ever recall the sanctions program 
being a point of contention, and VRSN agreed to it four years ago, this 
looks like giving them yet another gift.
