Hi,

I think this has exactly a 180 degree wrong approach
• Contract Co. – This is a not for profit company whose only function is to be signatory to the contract with the IANA Functions Operator. As such this entity would have no staff.

I think that this should have nothing but staff, a minimal staff of one or two  I.e it should have a neutral Administrator that does what the PRT tells her to do in terms of the contract adminstration, and perhaps a backup/aise.  It could also be the Root Zone Management Process Administrator as that is a clerical staff function.
