The IAHC has said they *SIGNED* the documents.

Intent and action are two different things Perry.

So the truth is that there are *TWO* signatures, one of which is bogus as
IANA isn't an organization (and thus can't sign anything as "IANA"; Mr.
Postel can sign the document as *JON POSTEL*, but not as the "IANA" as it is
a task, not an organization).
