<p dir="ltr">Hello Andrew,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am particularly referring to the following section:</p>
<p dir="ltr">"The IETF Trust reserves the right to require the Licensee or the requesting OC to pay out of pocket costs for any additional registrations, which will be owned by the Trust."</p>
<p dir="ltr">Considering that the COs already remunerate the licensee in one way or the other for IANA services, I thought it might be neater for the licensee[ICANN] to be the one handling any out of pocket cost for new registrations instead of having COs deal with the trust directly on that. ICANN may however highlight those extra costs to the CO. Like for instance i think the numbers agreement provides for such extra costs (with limits).</p>
<p dir="ltr">No doubt the Trust should be the one performing the act of any new registrations but I was addressing the payment part. Which I believe is what that section seem to be referring to.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That said, I do not know what the details of this registration entail and that's why I also asked a follow-up on how those new registrations take usage effect for the licensee.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards<br>

Could you say why? The Trust is supposed to be the owner of these<br>
marks. It seems a little odd to me that some other party would be<br>
doing that work. (I'm also pretty dubious about the value of all<br>
these registrations, anyway.)<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
