Although the organization's core mission and values have remained largely consistent throughout the organization's existence, certain events have resulted in amendments to the [[ICANN Bylaws]] to more precisely define ICANN's mission and values. For example, the [[IANA Functions Stewardship Transition]] expanded ICANN's mission slightly (to incorporate the oversight of the IANA functions and the [[PTI]]) as well as the [[Affirmation of Commitments]] into ICANN's bylaws, memorializing the structure and rules for [[ICANN Reviews#Specific Reviews|Specific Reviews]].
