        <p class="MsoNormal">There is an open question in the ICANN
          draft bylaws relating to IFRT-recommended amendments to the
          IANA Naming Function Contract, SOW and the CSC Charter
          (Section 18.6(a)(i)).  ICANN had requested a consultation
          right on amendments to the Contract and SOW since it is a
          party to the Contract.  On the CWG call, there was a comment
          on whether the consultation right for the ICANN board was
          appropriate.   The CWG proposal does not contemplate an ICANN
          consultation right.
