Recognizing the textual problem that Margaret identified and
moving back to intent, sooner or later the IAD and IAOC need to
decide whether or not to issue one or more competitive RFPs for
some or all of the secretariat functions. My understanding of
the intent of the community was that we finish up the BCP, we
get the IAOC and IAD in place, and then we get those RFPs
written and issued on a relatively expeditious basis, certainly
within six to nine months.
I'll add that it was my understanding that we formed the IASA-TT so
that we could get a head-start on defining the structure of the
administrative support activity, issuing RFPs and starting the search
for an IAD. The IASA-TT seems to have done well on the third item,
and from their web page it appears that they have undertaken some
work on the first item. Hopefully they will not be distracted from
this path by talk of the CNRI/Neustar deal.
