Sorry, I forgot to explain how I want to proceed! I wanted to post this 
version and do double-checking in public (see Ken's note for example). 
In a couple of hours, if nothing significant happens (and I remind that 
I asked for suggestions by Wednesday, so I would consider further 
requests for non-minor edits a bit out of time) I will post a final 
version and give 48 hours in a formal call for objections.

Separately, I have called for people to specifically say whether they 
are for or against modifying the text for what regards ICANN as a 
subject for Rio. That will have to be decided by me and Parminder 
according to the feedback on the list, since there is no time to wait 
for further discussion and then have a 48-hours call for objections 
(which can happen only when the coordinators determine that there is 
rough consensus, while here I would not know which rough consensus to 
call yet). If there will be significantly more people stating on the 
list that they are in favour of us saying "we want the ICANN structure 
discussed in Rio" than those who state they are against, I suppose we 
will decide to add it into the statement at the very last minute, 
building on our discretionality.

Now to make things even clearer, this is the text that I would add, 
building on Adam's initial suggestion (more suggestions welcome), if 
consensus was for "yes": "We think that, as per comma (j) of the IGF 
mandate, the legal nature and working structure of ICANN should be among 
the matters discussed in Rio, as long as they do not prevent the IGF 
from paying adequate attention to all the other themes.". This would 
replace the part where we say there is no consensus among us on this, 
while I'd still keep the bit on making the enhanced cooperation process 
more transparent.
