  Brenda Brewer:Good day all and welcome to the IANA IPR Follow-up call on Thursday, 25 August 2016 @ 16:30 UTC!

  Josh Hofheimer (Sidley):Have there been many comments, or more specifically any substantive responses requestingchanges

  Josh Hofheimer (Sidley):Correct, CWG does not have any significant concerns, and no comment on the indemnity issue

  Alan Barrett:Josh: comments are here: http://ianacg.org/pipermail/ianaiprpubliccomment_ianacg.org/

  Alan Barrett:There has been only one comment so far, from the NRO, supporting the draft agreements.

  Trang Nguyen:Sorry, having trouble connecting audio

  Trang Nguyen:Will be happy to touch base with Sam regarding this.

  Lise Fuhr:Agree

  andrew sullivan:hurray!

  Greg Shatan:If we wanted to formally expand the IANA Function Review's scope to reviewing ICANN's performance as the signatory, that would require a Bylaws change.  But that lily does not need to be gilded.

  Greg Shatan:Not that I know of.

 Jari Arkko:I have heard only what Andrew said

  Nathalie Vergnolle:Correct, no call scheduled.

  andrew sullivan:Note that this slot will _not_ work on the 8th because the Trust is meeting then
