You are (also) correct. That is the other way to look at it and it is the mechanism I would prefer to use too. However the NTIA contract exists and ICANN is bound to both the NRO MoU and this contract. The reference is http://www.ntia.doc.gov/page/iana-functions-purchase-order and in particular http://www.ntia.doc.gov/other-publication/2012/icann-proposal This is a huge pile of bits. The Internet Numbers part is really almost lost in it. Daniel
