An even smaller one.  In 3.1.5:

#    From time to time and as required by the community, the IANA may,
#   with the advice and consent of the IESG, create new top-level
#   registration trees.

It's "by and with the advice and consent", i.e. by the advice and with the
consent.  This phrase is very old; in the U.S. Constitution the President
makes treaties "b. and w. the a. and c. of the Senate", and in the
U.K. and the Dominions, laws are enacted "by the Queen's most Excellent
Majesty, b. and w. the A.  and C. of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal,
and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled", and have been since
at least 1689 (the English Bill of Rights) and probably much longer.
