Me too. 

The RFP submission of the numbers community lays to rest the idea that requesting a transfer of the mark and the domain would expose the IETF to unnamed risks of "losing something" that were worse than the risk of not having control of those assets if or when a transfer of the protocol-related IANA functions was required. 

As I noted at the time this issue was first raised, IETF would not be bargaining with ICANN on its own; rather, ICANN would be bargaining with the NTIA and the entire names, numbers and protocol communities to implementing a finalized and integrated ICG proposal. 

Bottom line for me: there would be an incompatibility in these proposals only if the IETF said that it was opposed to the IETF Trust receiving the assets. So I hope you don't say that. An incompatibility would require additional work and "open things up" that would better be left concluded.
