Becky and all,
I have attached a revision to the proposed Bylaw under discussion, taking the comments from various quarters into account and trying to balance various concerns.

Thank you Greg. I think "strictly" should remain; the intent is indeed to ensure that ICANN remains within the Mission, and who is to say what kind of mission creep is "harmless". Your text also helpfully points out the unhelpfully vague nature of the phrase "as reasonably appropriate" in the first sentence. Let's delete it. I can agree with the inclusion of "negotiate and enter into", provided that this is also within the Mission. Attached is my suggestion for how we incorporate that phrase. The attached text is much simpler and more clear than anything we have had so far. If it is used, I think you will agree that there can be no suggestion nor any reasonable fear that ICANN's legitimate contracting authority is being brought into question. Can we settle on this?
