I think we should focus on those materials that fit in with our report
and ignore the more concrete technical stuff. We cannot, e.g., decide
whether 8 nameservers are necessary, as Verisign claims. Neither do we
need to list all sorts of elements from the existing .NET and other
gTLD contracts. These will obviously be referenced by ICANN.
