Hi Malcolm,
I don't think the goal of this cwg should be to replicate the NTIA contract
also I don't think this cwg has already concluded it's going the "creating
an oversight body" route.
The defacto PDP homes for the different functions (numbers, names and
protocol) are known and is not a point of discussion within this cwg.
Maybe it will do us all some good to avoid some "what ifs" like this one
relating to policy authority ;)

kindly excuse brevity and typos.
