According to the CWG proposal, PTI contract with ICANN as far as being IFO
is concerned.

ICANN will be principal and PTI will be agent again in the sense of PTI be
IFO.

I think its important to just always remind NTIA that they are yet to
initiate(clarify) the parallel process that would determine how the
corporative agreement between NTIA/Verisign will go[1]. I don't think its
within the CWG's scope to initiate that process and i believe that was also
clear in the proposal. Its not even within ICANN's scope who is the
convener of the transition process.

1. *Q. What impact does this announcement have on the cooperative agreement
with Verisign?*

A. Aspects of the IANA functions contract are inextricably intertwined with
the VeriSign cooperative agreement (i.e., authoritative root zone file
management),*which would require that NTIA coordinate a related and
parallel transition in these responsibilities. *
