There is indeed, but let me step back for a second.

Currently the rights are owned by the US government as stated in the
NTIA contract. We want these data rights, along with the IPR to stay
with the community. We need to articulate this and avoid contradictions.

My suggestion is to include my previously proposed amendment in the IPR
section instead:

III.A.2. IPR related to the provision of the IANA services remains with
the community:

OLD:

It is also the expectation of the Internet Number Community that
non-public information related to the IANA number resource registries
and corresponding services, including the provision of reverse DNS
delegation in IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA, is managed by the IANA operator
and will be transferred to its successor(s) along with relevant rights.

NEW:

It is also the expectation of the Internet Number Community that
non-public information related to the IANA number resource registries
and corresponding services, including the provision of reverse DNS
delegation in IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA, is managed by the IANA operator
and will be transferred to its successor(s). All rights on non-public
information related to the IANA number resource registries and
corresponding services must be transferred to the RIRs.


And we can stipulate the principle as simple as:

Principle: the contract will implement the RIR community expectations as
described in section III.A.2

Does this resolve the contradiction, still retaining the important
statement?
