This was what raised concern in my mind, too. And this came shortly after the news about ICANN legal's reaction to the CRISP team proposal.  The conjunction of those two events works against (but does not definitively refute) interpreting the problems associated with routine renewal of the supplement SLA as something ICANN would like to do but can't until the transition takes place. Addressing Andrew, I will continue to be mildly "worked up" - on alert would be a better term - until ICANN staff is able to specifically identify the legal issue the new text raises under its existing contract with NTIA.
