Siva,

Thanks for the clarification.

... this imaginary scenario of a threat of litigation from the present IANA operator.

In this scenario, who is ICANN suing?

Olivier
came up with
scenario
s 26, 27, 28 as well as 33 among a few others
. He would be in a better position to clarify. The message is copied to him.

I look forward to his response, if any. Again, as a personal courtesy.

Again, my thanks.
