<div>Thanks Grace.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I took a look at C.2.9.2 and it appears to be a number of detailed operational items. I don't see reference to the language noted below regarding not requiring contract. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Paul - can you please clarify?</div>

<div>Thanks</div>

<div>> The draft Bylaws (as a non-lawyer) look fine.... I think we are almost there.... </div>
<div>></div>
<div>>Looking at the current NTIA/ICANN contract the goal is to ensure stability of</div>
<div>>each ccTLD Registry and the Registry's customers - ie nothing is done by</div>
<div>>PTI(IANA) to impact the stable operation of the ccTLD Registry</div>
<div>></div>
<div>>Section C.2.9.2</div>

<div>></div>
<div>>This forces PTI/IANA to refer the all matters to the current Registry</div>
