Well there goes my plan to corner the market on stupid questions.

Bravo to Alpha isn't even mentioned in the draft: it speaks as though 
the two are the same client program.

Charlie to Delta is the big acknowledged unknown. I think the word you 
might be looking for is "transaction".

"It's whatever is needed to verify the cookie from Alpha."

Whatever needs to be communicated on that channel it can't be verifying 
cookies and also be "only an occasional ???". Verifying cookies means 
every single ntp packet that comes in to Charlie has to be checked with 
Delta.
