All,

A flash of ICANN Board sanity here. Great!  If my memory serves me 
right, there may be a second related step necessary on the insurance 
front. I believe it is correct to say that ICANN also imposes an 
insurance requirement on contracts between Registrars and Registries. 
Correct me if I am wrong but as I recall, African Registries have also 
complained that the nature of the insurance condition, as written in the 
contracts, is also very burdensome.

Am I right...or wrong?
