Gordon,
I have no idea whether an agreement will be signed
or not. However, no matter how Jim Rutt feels about
this, NSI is in a difficult position vis-a-vis the
Dept of Commerce and shareholders.
It's difficult and inappropriate for NSI to be the world's
primary policeman for broken Internet institutions. It's
time for others to get involved.
Note also, that given ICANN's fatal flaws, it's destined
to succumb irrespective of any contemporary agreement.
