question you\u2019re right that it isn\u2019t the best one. The concern in the comments
over the last responsibility for carrying out the IANA functions is raised
more in context with the proposed PTI board composition (mix of ICANN
employees and \u201cindependent\u201d members). So a better question would be who takes
this last responsibility: the ICANN board through the contract with PTI or the
PTI board. To my understanding this is not explicitly covered by para 1113.

responsibility for the PTI performance should be undoubtedly clear then we

responsibilities.</FONT></SPAN></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I\u2019m a bit confused by this question. It\u2019s hard to believe the CWG would
not want the responsibilities to be clearly allocated between the two boards.
Furthermore, paragraph 1113 seems fairly explicit on this point: it is the
role of the PTI board to ensure that PTI fulfills its responsibilities under
the IANA functions contract with ICANN. Why doesn\u2019t that answer the question?
And if it doesn't, are we asking the CWG to amend their proposal? Or are we
just asking the question so that we can understand the proposal better (as
with the RZM question)? </DIV>
