I had missed that! It is indeed a very different thing that the DAG requires, and in fact, BETTER than what the DAG requires of a buyer is not found to take over the gTLD.

2.11 ICANN and a new gTLD operator/registry should establish clear

It is interesting that the GAC notion of continuity is limited to
resolution, a requirement which could be met by simply freezing a
registry's zone file and ensuring that it does not expire, as was done
during the .ht failure. The cost of a freeze-and-republish-only mode
of continuity is fairly low, even for years of continuity.
