<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">We appreciate the guidance provided on our questions last week from the CWG bylaw drafting session. We have two outstanding questions from the
punch list we re-circulated last week. We have pasted them below for your convenience. As you know, our deadline to circulate bylaws is at the end of this week. We greatly appreciate your attention to this. To expedite matters we have included our recommendation
for you to consider. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Question 1. (and 12, 16, 17 &18) Please confirm GNSO and ccNSO supermajority approval threshold. Page 1 of CWG Staff’s response chart refers
to supermajority voting of the relevant SO, but page 11 of the CWG Staff’s response chart states that the CWG “has agreed to keep the current practices (i.e., simple majority voting) for both the GNSO and ccNSO.” As the proposal specifically contemplates a
supermajority vote for material changes to the IANA Functions Contract, the reference to “simple” majority on page 11 of the response chart appears to be an error. (Page 10 of Bylaws matrix); same question in relation to approval of recommendations relating
to the IFR relating to the Special IFR and SCWG establishment and the separation process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
