Yes, per the contract, 15 calendar notices notice is required to maintain the option
to renew.  That letter serves as such notice for option year two, without committing
the government to do so.


> To Giacomo's question, given today's date and given we have not seen any other correspondence from the US government to ICANN, does this mean the NTIA hasn't exercised its renew option on the IANA contract,

No.  The letter informs ICANN that the USG maintains its _right_ (but not obligation)
to continue the contract.

See above.
