[CCWG-ACCT] IANA Contract Extended

[Jordan Carter]

For what it's worth, I do not believe that there is any impact on our
timeline at all. We should still finalise our proposal for WS1 for Dublin
and be implementing shortly thereafter.

It is all the things that happen after which require the contract
extension... Particularly the 5mth U.S. Govt review and approval process...
