An update:

NTIA has made public the IANA contract extension to September 30, 2010. 
The announcement itself has been back-dated from today or yesterday to 
last September 1st. No further comment. 
(http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/domainname/iana.htm)

Still up to 30 months to go!

So, the "interim solution" DNS root signature approach stays with us.
