How does one "implement" an "existing state of affairs?" If it is existing, it does not need implementation; if it needs implementation it is not quite the existing state of affairs yet. 

The IANAPLAN draft said: 

"No new organizations or structures are required. ... However in the absence of the NTIA contract a few new arrangements may be needed in order to ensure the IETF community's expectations are met." 

I would hope that the official shepherd of the document would be able to represent its contents accurately. No more 'spin', please.
