I disagree.

I do not see why we would treat the IPR other than other items, like the
SLA. For the latter we want it to be agreed and probably even signed
before the transition.

To me, deferring the decision on these details, and specifically - on
the organization-holder and the license agreement, does not make much
sense. These have to be sorted out before the transition, IMO.
