<DIV>All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>here\u2019s what the team has elaborated so far but we had not finally
\u201capproved\u201d. So discussion remains open for all.</DIV>
<DIV>I\u2019ll try to send draft ICG questions tomorrow before the call.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>We note that the heading \u201cB\u201d, sub-heading B6, and item B6d,
appear on both slides 2 and 3 of the slide deck "PTI related
issues-v1.pdf\u201d. They are dealt with by another sub-team under slide 2, so
this sub-team is focusing on \u201cC\u201d. This means that only #29, 31, 50, 51, 80, 81,
92, 95, 102, 103, 107 and 121 are relevant for our task.<BR>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: " dir=ltr>Specific statements with regards to
the PTI board can be drawn from para 1111 to 1114 of the ICG proposal.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: " dir=ltr>Issues raised in the comments:</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: " dir=ltr>
<OL>
<LI>limit explicitly the PTI board\u2019s function and scope of powers to the
operational oversight of IANA functions or limit the PTI remit
<LI>provide additional safeguards to ensure PTI remains accountable to the
broader multistakeholder community.
<LI>the composition of the PTI board should ensure who bears ultimate
responsibility for the IANA performance (ICANN board or PTI board): e.g. 1.
subset of ICANN board members or 2. coming more from the community or 3. mix;
caution against capture by governments or industry
<LI>criteria for board member selection to be established: e.g.
professional knowledge, geographical balance, community representation,
conflict of interest, gender balance, able to grasp and attend to any public
interest or human rights concern that the board might face, overall neutrality
<LI>PTI board selection process should be discussed including review in case
of PTI separation</LI></OL></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: " dir=ltr>From para 1112 of the proposal:
\u201cAs a separate legal entity, PTI will have a board of directors and have the
minimum statutorily required responsibilities and powers.\u201d This should read
\u201c...board of directors <STRIKE>and</STRIKE> <FONT
style="COLOR: #ff0000">who</FONT> have...\u201d since it\u2019s related to the board
rather than to the PTI as a whole (derived from Sidley, too).</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: " dir=ltr>From the content it seems to be
clear that the PTI board\u2019s scope is not on the operations itself rather than
on the operations\u2019 oversight. To the avoidance of doubt the \u201cminimum
statutorily required responsibilities and powers\u201d could be described in
detail.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<LI>
<DIV>Regarding limitation of PTI\u2019s remit:</DIV></LI></UL>
<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir=ltr>
<DIV dir=ltr>The proposal should be clear that PTI should operationally take
over 1:1 IANA\u2019s present tasks and should be limited to this. PTI\u2019s board
obligations shall cover the operations oversight. We can ask CWG whether both
is clearly expressed in the proposal and if not and if they agree then
they may provide verbatim text.</DIV>
