Yes, but what does that mean in this case?  If the IETF were to
terminate the arrangement, would ICANN still review our documents, and
if so, would we not take them seriously?  The worst case would be
ICANN's copy of protocol parameters didn't match our own, and at that
point, developers would have to decide who to believe.  This would not
be a good state to be in, but realistically anyone else can do the same
thing.  And truly it would serve nobody's interest for this to happen,
not ours, not ICANN's and certainly not implementers'.
