so far, I can say that Dave's observations are consistent and provide more
clarity in reading the statement.

> *Dave: -* We are pleased to note that the ICG, on their latest draft, has

>
> *Original: -* *Nevertheless, we still have important concerns related to
> the coordination between the operational communities when making critical
> decisions like the separation of related IANA operations from the current
> IANA function operator; we believe such decisions, if not well coordinated,
> could have major impact on the security and stability of the Internet.
> Though we understand that some informal relationship exist among the
> operational communities, we believe it will be helpful if the 3 communities
> formerly commit to coordinating with each-other whenever the need arises. *

> recalled directors avoiding a reduced interim board. It will also make it
