'''WLS''' ('''Wait Listing Service''') was a proposed service provided by registrars to give potential registrants or subscribers the opportunity to reserve their desired domain names that are currently registered for one year. Under this service a registrant may purchase a one year subscription for a particular domain name under a registrar which will directly perform the transaction with [[Verisign]] GRS. A domain name being subscribed under the Waiting List Service will only be registered to the subscriber in the event that the owner of the domain name undertook normal operational processes of registration deletion. | '''WLS''' ('''Wait Listing Service''') was a proposed service provided by registrars to give potential registrants or subscribers the opportunity to reserve their desired domain names that are currently registered for one year.
