Yes absolutely - that is what I was referring to in the text.  In 
parallel to the consultation the CWG is working on numerous issues 
including that one.

I raised this issue about the vagueness of the purpose in the CWG some 
time ago.  It has now been discussed in the and this is the latest 
formulation:

“The specific purpose of the Corporation is to operate exclusively to 
perform the functions of, and to carry out the purposes of the Internet 
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, a California nonprofit 
public benefit corporation (“ICANN”), by performing the IANA functions 
on behalf of ICANN.”

This was agreed by the CWG and addresses the issue of purpose.  The 
point in the comments is to address the issue of potential evolution of 
the members in the future, which the language above does not account for.

Thanks.
