Better Safe, than Sorry! (was: It's been a pleasure)

Hello everyone,

It appears that many are uncomfortable with my 
summary suggesting that the IANA and NSI would 
successfully incorporate the consensus points 
from the IFWP into the New Corp:

As an insurance policy, we might want to prepare 
another set of consensus documents and Board of
Directors for the New Corp.  

That way, if the current negotiations result in 
an unacceptable solution, we will simply present 
Ira with a second set of By-Laws.  If he is true 
to his words (and I believe that he is), he will 
not accept either solution until we come to a 
mutual agreement.  

This ensures the disenfranchised participants 
of the IFWP process a seat at the table ;-)
