[SNIP] SO:
In the current configuration, PTI is not in the position to issue RFP, it's rather the parent (ICANN) that is in the position to issue RFP based on the recommendation of IRF team/possible escalation from CSC. The later which is not yet very clear. So PTI is
basically entering the current shoes of ICANN and ICANN will be entering the shoes of NTIA post-transition
And this may be a dumb question, but just to clarify ... if ICANN enters the shoes of NTIA (the current contract "Administrator"), and PTI enters the shoes of ICANN (the current "IANA Functions Operator"), I assume there will also be someone stepping into the
shoes of VeriSign (the "Maintainer") that will have a contract with both ICANN and PTI - is that corect?
