Done. By another design team. There will be no authorization function.

We have already determined that NTIA authorization does nothing that needs to be replaced.

Yes. This is something we could do, but not by Thursday unless the recommendations are highly generic.

I think it is imperative to have a very clear process in mind for how RZ changes are implemented by the end of May. But your statement above about the level of implementation is a bit of an overstatement, imho. The protocols community proposal left certain things "TBD" and the numbers community proposal has not drafted their IANA contract yet. It was sufficient, I think, for them to say what the contract would do, who would eventually write it, etc.

I'll roll with "something" but I insist again that Thursday is an artificial deadline that is not actually required for the success of the overall process.
