One more thought: This report, assuming it is accurate, tells us that the Democrats are willing to trade away a freeze extension for something else they want. That makes it unlikely that the presence of a freeze extension in the final package will trigger a Senate filibuster, much less a government shutdown because the issue prevents passage and signing of a short term funding bill.

As there was much interest yesterday, I thought I would share this update from the Washington Post on negotiations regarding the US budget and their effect on the IANA transition: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/09/20/senate-lea ders-say-they-are-close-to-deal-to-prevent-government-shutdown-provide -zika-funds/
FWIW, in my opinion the Post is more or less our "home town" newspaper and tends to have solid sourcing for articles like this.
