$200 million (was [ga] Draft Resolution)

I see in:
http://www.icann.org/melbourne/proposed-verisign-agreements-topic.htm

  In addition, VeriSign will commit to invest no less than $200 million 
  in research and development activities, and resulting improvements, 
  in order to increase the efficiency and stability of the .com registry. 

And in:
http://www.icann.org/nsi/sclavos-letter-28feb01.htm

  To demonstrate our long-term commitment to the stability of the 
  Internet and to the domain name system, we would commit to invest
  $200 million over a ten-year period in research & development 
  and infrastructure to increase the efficiency and stability 
  of the .com, .net, and .org registries and the ability of 
  all ICANN-accredited registrars to access these registries. 

Question to VeriSign:
Are these "$200 million over a ten-year period" additional to
the planned VeriSign - NSI expenses in R & D and infrastructure  ?
Is it part to a new agreement (please provide URL) ?
