We do not even really know when discussions will be able to resume, what additional concerns might arise when they do, or even whether the requirements can be met once all the obstacles to discussion are removed.

This was of course an issue when the current IETF/ICANN MoU was developed
in 1999/2000, and the reason why it wasn't signed and ratified until
March 2000. Since it *was* signed and ratified and is still in force, I'm
not too worried about the IETF's basic position being "We have what we need."
The issues that Eliot raised are valid and should probably be reinforced
as a comment on the ICG proposal, however.
