I think that Lynn's answer is accurate, but I suggest splitting it into<br clear="none">

Alan Barrett's suggestion:<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Q: What is the Post-Transition IANA (PTI)?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
A: In their proposal, the Names community proposed to form a<br clear="none">
new, separate legal entity (PTI) in the form of a non-profit<br clear="none">
corporation (i.e., a California public benefit corporation).<br clear="none">
They proposed that ICANN enter into a contract with PTI to serve<br clear="none">
as the IANA Functions Operator (IFO) for the naming functions.<br clear="none">
The entire IANA functions department staff currently housed in<br clear="none">
ICANN, and related resources, processes, data, and know-how will<br clear="none">
be legally transferred to PTI. The PTI will be an affiliate<br clear="none">
(subsidiary) of ICANN and ICANN will be responsible for its<br clear="none">
stewardship.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Q: What is the relationship between PTI and the existing IANA<br clear="none">
department within ICANN?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
A: PTI is expected to employ the same people and perfom the same<br clear="none">
work using the same resources as the current IANA department<br clear="none">
within ICANN. The difference is that PTI will be a separate legal<br clear="none">
entity, while the current IANA department is legally part of<br clear="none">
ICANN.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Q: How will the three Operating Communities (OCs) interact with<br clear="none">
PTI?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
A: The Names community has proposed that ICANN (in its role as the<br clear="none">
policy coordinating body for the names community) will contract<br clear="none">
with PTI for operation of the IANA naming functions. The Number<br clear="none">
and Protocol Parameter communities have proposed to contract with<br clear="none">
ICANN for the operatation of their IANA functions, and to allow<br clear="none">
ICANN to sub-contract to PTI.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Q: How will performance be evaluated?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
A: The three Operating Communities (OCs) are responsible for<br clear="none">
evaluating the performance of their parts of the IANA functions,<br clear="none">
and for making whatever decisions are required to ensure<br clear="none">
their community's needs and expectations are met, including<br clear="none">
choosing/changing the IANA functions operator for their part of<br clear="none">
the IANA functions.<br clear="none">
