[CWG-Stewardship] RySG analysis of public comments

Hi,

I have no problem seeing both of these as possibly be true
simultaneously - I see no paradox.

One can argue that the set of entities Contract Co, Contract holder,
CSC, IANA, IAP, MRT,  and the interconnections between them makes for a
complex architecture. And if one beleives that it is more complex than
necessary to fulfill the IANA transition requirements, then it may be
said that it is too complex.

While also realizing that we have a ways to go, especially at the time
the report was put out, defining the details of the entities and the
nature of the communication and responsibility interfaces between those
entities.

Complexity without enough detail.
