That's the way we register the special use names. What we don't have is a way, apart from sending a liaison statement, to tell ICANN what we're planning to do. In this particular case, I think it would be extremely important to get positive affirmation that ICANN as an organization is in favour of registering these names for special use, because the names in question have in fact been applied for and applicants have spent not inconsiderable money on those applications. I'm not convinced that it would be safe for the IETF to make such a special-use registration at this point without an explicit declaration from ICANN not only that they wanted not to delegate for an indeterminate period of time, but that they would like the special-use registration as well.
