Steve -
I think this is a misinterpretation of the ICANN
letter. What I read says to replace the contract
with a cooperative agreement.
This is a good idea and the BC should support.
It is entirely consistent with regular reviews,
ATRT, etc.
The "evil" procurement style contract was foisted
on a very unwilling ICANN CEO and Board in late
98 by DOD/NTIA lawyers covering their backs. As
ICANN says, it makes no sense. This is not a
procurement situation, it is basically a public
service/public trust effort, which a cooperative
agreement is designed to support.
