Good! Excellent content. I suggested to David Conrad that this
presentation make the clearest possible statement about the 
service quality and viability in the medium term. He understood.
He also told me that this service was approved at the highest level 
in ICANN. But some more candid public statements are needed.

I also suggested to David, that he provide a preview of that
presentation to Jim whenever Jim happens to wear his RIPE TF and WG 
chair hat. ;-)

Further, in my judgement, a statement from RIPE like
"Should IANA discontinue the service before the  root is signed
we want the RIPE NCC to take it over asap.?" would not be necessary bt
sufficient for ICANN to keep a "provisional" service up.  ICANN will
intrinsically be inclined to retain services which it must consider
"core" to its raison d'etre. 

(A "provisional" service probably is even more stable because it
presents less of a target for ICANN's layer 10 processes.  :-)
