<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: Yes. We must distinguish between entities that form around ICANN and ICANN the corporation. CSC as you say is constituted by the
ICANN community through defined processes recognized in ICANN\u2019s bylaws, but it is the IANA names customers, not ICANN-corporate, that it represents.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: CSC oversight would be in ICANN\u2019s bylaws, not in the PTI contract. I am not sure what you mean by \u201cICANN POLICY\u201d but maybe you just
mean the community around ICANN as opposed to ICANN corporate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

service provider? Just like the IETF-AIB and the RIRs can walk away if not satisfied with their IFOs, in this case, ICANN?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">MM: No, ICANN can change PTI managers (more accurately, instruct its appointed board members to sack the individuals who work for PTI)
but it cannot choose another IFO unilaterally. Only the community via the IFR process can do that.
