    hi,<br>
    <br>
    GNSO and ccNSO have no ability to sign a contract with anyone, they
    are just parts of ICANN and ICANn cannot sign a contract with
    itself.<br>
    <br>
    The contracting authority for IANA must be outside ICANN and it must
    be an entity that is capable of signing a contract.<br>
