I have said it a few times. In various ways, but I guess not clearly.

The IETF Trust is excellent and full of trustworthy people. 
I trust them completely to protect IETF interests.
Their  fiduciary responsibility is, in fact, to the IETF interests.
In a crisis that could be problematic for the Names interests.
   (I equate it to my mother having trusted my father's lawyer in their
divorce)
Names should not accept such a situation.

The lawyers have indicated that there is legal manipulation that could
be done to protect Names' interest.
Jari has indicated that they are looking at language. I assume it is
that kind of language.

So we can wait to see that language and get our lawyer's opinion on it.
Or we start working on separate language.
Or we go down both paths in parallel so as not to interfere with the
schedule.
I see no other alternative.
