not be in scope for the Empowered Community, so that doesn't work either. We have a legal entity that will be the signatory -- ICANN, which I believe has already agreed to do so. (Similarly, the IETF is not a legal entity, but rather an "activity" of ISOC,
so I believe ISOC will be signing on behalf of the IETF as the "Protocol Parameters Community.")<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-US">On another note, assuming we are not constraint on timing, it may be better for the Chair(s)(or their representatives in the EC) of the CO to sign the agreement instead. This would however not be possible until the EC is formerly setup.
That would give more formality to it and may also address part of Kavouss concern which I sense is around getting an entity to sign.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Per the instruction from CWG, namely that we pursue Scenario 1 from the prior Sidley memo, we have drafted this request to come from the CWG co-chairs, and look to Greg Shatan to help with the description of the “Names Community”. We look forward to discussing
on our call on Thursday.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
