<p dir="ltr">SO: +1 to this, so it's a matter of checking if the text in the scope is indeed out of remit of ICANN's actual role and responsibilities. Nevermind that this is a repetition of what I had earlier mentioned.</p>

Changes to the Scope of Responsibilities should require careful deliberation and considered action by the community as well as the Board. The Mission Statement should be even more stable and hardly ever require amendment.<br>

> MM: For ICANN to include its role as IFO as a fundamental bylaw is a backdoor way of resisting and denying one of the most critical reforms of the IANA transition, namely the legal and structural separation of IFO from ICANN and the principle of separability. Sorry, Steve, that isn’t going to happen. Besides, to wrest IANA away from ICANN requires a massively complex process that certainly already qualifies as “careful deliberation and considered action.”<br>

SO: Okay this seem to be becoming wired to me as I no longer understand the intent here, are you saying that ICANN would seize to be the IFO(logically) post-transition? If the intent is to somehow recognise the subsidiary of ICANN (PTI) as the IFO in the fundamental bylaw then I agree otherwise I think having things embedded in fundamental bylaw is most appropriate security because these in itself is a literally fundamental issues of the organisation structure and should be treated as such.</p>
