Also of note is the NTIAs own position on this:
Q. Who performs the related root zone management functions?
A. VeriSign performs the related root zone management functions pursuant to a cooperative
agreement with NTIA.
Q. What impact does this announcement have on the cooperative agreement with Verisign?
A. Aspects of the IANA functions contract are inextricably intertwined with the VeriSign
cooperative agreement (i.e., authoritative root zone file management), which would require that NTIA coordinate a related and parallel transition in these responsibilities.
