Yes.

Yes, although as Brian and others have pointed out, the relevance of the NTIA contract is questionable.

Perhaps something similar to the replacement of the RFC Editor (not to say that it wasn’t being performed well, rather that there was a process established to change it).

> What if ICANN decides it wants to levy fees?  

If the IETF community decides that is unreasonable, it’d probably trigger the replacement.  The MoU, after all, is terminable.

Who decided to replace the RFC Editor, and how?
