Yes, hence why I asked Jon how he proposes having "the relationship continue 
along past lines"...  It is not at all clear if that this would occur in any 
post-NTIA scenario, particularly if we look long-term (as stewards of this system)
and consider potential of future unaligned changes in IANA operators for the 
various communities.

I was hoping that Jon would have chance to answer the question that I asked, 
since we have not yet heard what he proposes here, and already have a strong 
understanding of what arrangements you propose to address this issue.
