Alan,
I still find your answers unsatisfying.

Please stop knocking down straw men. No one is claiming that CWG can alter the Verisign Cooperative Agreement, and in fact there are several statements I have made and ICG has made recognizing that that part of the transition is in NTIA's hands. I see a tendency here to say that because NTIA must modify the CA, that CWG is absolved of the responsibility for designing the relationship between PTI, ICANN and whoever the RZM is.

Does 1150 2b answer any of the following questions?
- Does PTI contract with the RZM, or does ICANN? Or does someone else?
- Who is the principal and who is the agent of this contract?
- If ICANN is the principal, can it decide to give the contract to someone besides Verisign? On what time frame? On what criteria?
- What are the basic terms/elements of this contract? Does the RZM get paid?
