Re: Specific Questions

Simon,

Yes, because the annual review panel didn't think they lived up to the
requirements.

>That's more than just a
>modification to a contract. 

1) it wasn't a contract, it was a cooperative agreement.

2) I believe the cooperative agreement was written such that the
InterNIC participants had their performance reviewed and if they
didn't perform, the cooperative agreement would be terminated.

>NSF saw fit to change the agreement to allow NSI to charge money.

I believe it was always intended that the various parts of InterNIC
would develop user based charging.
