For whatever it's worth, I've been a little nervous about a tendency to add references to other agreements to ICANN bylaws. That seems like the sort of thing any corporation (even ICANN) would properly worry about, because it effectively provides a second way to update the effects of a bylaw without going through the bylaw amendment process. I don't feel strongly about it, but it does seem something worth asking how a corporation's counsel might react to such an idea (particularly since the bylaws already explicitly contain a restriction on acting beyond the enumerated powers).
