"Expedite vacating and enter the taxiway..."

On one of the major international airports (EHAM) we operate into the ATIS message contains the following instruction: "Expedite vacating and enter the taxiway".
The airport charts provides additional information regarding taxiing: "Pilots shall contact Ground (without ATC instructions) immediately after vacating the landing runway".

Does this ATIS instruction wants me:
A) to enter the taxiway and continue taxiing while establishing two-way communication with a ground controller; or
B) to enter the taxiway and hold until two-way communication is established with a ground controller?

Most of the time we adhere to A, just because traffic density is low right now and we almost instantly establish good two-way communication. However, a colleague recently stated that B is the correct way to interpret the instruction. Any thoughts? Would this ATIS instruction be omitted when conducting Low Visibility Procedures?
