Becky,

Enforcement (after interpretation and examination of situational applicability)
of some rule, e.g., applicant-assumed-obligation, occurs when the applicant has
obtained a delegation. Selection amongst two or more applicants, for whatever
reasons, and the AGB contained the rules applicable for the 2010 cohort, occurs
before delegation.

The phrasing below confuses post-delegation and pre-delegation criteria and
enforcements.

"freedom of contract" is inconsistent with the responsibilities of the NTIA
and its contractors, and incompatible with a transition of a government
contract, where pre-existing public interests are retained by the transitional
contractor.
