In making a delegation or redelegation recommendation, the Contractor must provide documentation verifying that ICANN followed its own policy framework including specific documentation demonstrating how the process provided the opportunity for input from relevant stakeholders and was supportive of the global public interest. The Contractor shall submit its recommendations to the COR via a Delegation and Redelegation Report.

- Yes they do, however some consideration should be given to the following:
- The section detailing the "Delegation Request Form" on pages 7 & 8 of the documentation 'IANA TLD MODIFICATION TEMPLATE 2010-02-17'. could be better as a linked appendix rather than in the body of the text.
- The section detailing the "Prohibited Networks" on pages 10, 11 & 12 of the documentation, could also be better as a linked appendix rather than in the body of the text.
