What decisions are these, other than "ICANN told us the TLD we are about 
to add to the root is in the public interest, and we can't work out why 
they think that".

I'm trying quite hard to imagine a situation where the IANA contract/ 
function is awarded to someone other than ICANN, not because I think it 
might be, or should be, but the contract terms must make some sort of 
sense in the eventuality that it is (otherwise the tendering is a sham).
