<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">following
the ICG call today, I have formulated two questions to CWG (to be inserted in
the total list of questions) for further amendments:</DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: "><FONT face=Arial>6) The comments regarding PTI board fall
in two broader categories, one about the board\u2019s powers and another one about
which members get selected in the board and how. Some of the comments have
differing suggestions as to what actual member selection process should be. We
note that the board composition and selection procedure have been extensively
discussed within the CWG and should be elaborated in detail during the
implementation planning.</FONT></SPAN></P>

face=Arial>Para 1112 of the proposal says: \u201cAs a separate legal entity, PTI will
have a board of directors and have the minimum statutorily required
responsibilities and powers.\u201d However, from the underlying legal expertise
(Sidley) we read the minimum statutorily required responsibilities and powers
being with the PTI board. We\u2019d like to ask the CWG whether this interpretation
is correct. In this case we recommend adapting the related text
accordingly.</FONT></SPAN></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: "><FONT face=Arial>7) Some comments raise concern with
regards to the risk that ICANN board and PTI board could attempt to avoid
responsibility for any operational shortcomings by seeking to hold the other
board responsible. The ICG deems a clarification being necessary on this point
in the following way: If the CWG agrees that the ultimate responsibility for the
PTI performance should be undoubtedly clear then we would ask to provide us with
related text to the allocation of these responsibilities.</FONT></SPAN></P>
