OARnet is interested in principle in all three agreements, but would
prefer that Ittai had made it clearer that the arrangements he described
are a "for example" and may not pertain to any particular mid-level and
certainly not to all of them. I consider any agreement OARnet might make
with ANS to be sensitive information, and certainly would not expect ANS
to share it with com-priv (or anyone else, for that matter).
I have no objection to ANS talking about the broad outlines of the types
of agreements it would like to make with the mid-levels, but to think that
a single public agreement is likely to be signed by all the mid-levels
(at least in the Cooperative Agreement) is naive, and to imply that is
the case would be somewhat counter-productive for ANS.
