I now see the IANA+NSI meetings as a contract negotiation.  

After those two parties are done, it would appear that other 
parties plan on negotiating directly with IANA, as well.  To 
see this for yourself, I suggest you review the CIX email that 
was mistakenly sent to the public list.  It would appear that 
CIX, AIM and conceivably others intend on doing the same thing.

So, under this scenario, who is going to negotiate for the 
IFWP consensus points????
