<DIV>Thanks team colleagues and Alissa,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">as to your
question, there were comments explaining doubts \u2013 derived from the proposal -
where the ultimate responsibility for operational issues may be (PTI board or
ICANN board) and asking for clear allocation.</DIV>
<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000">Drawn from
the list discussion, I have formulated the two following questions to CWG (to be
inserted in the total list of questions) :</DIV>
<DIV

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US
style="FONT-FAMILY: "><FONT face=Arial>6) The comments regarding PTI board fell
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.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US
style="FONT-FAMILY: "><FONT face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US
style='FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: zh-cn'><FONT
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 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>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US
style='FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: zh-cn'><FONT

text on the \u201cminimum statutorily required responsibilities and
powers\u201d.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US
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. 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.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><SPAN lang=EN-US

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face=Arial><SPAN lang=EN-US
style="FONT-FAMILY: ">8) Several comments requested for an explicit limitation
of PTI\u2019s and PTI board\u2019s remit. To our understanding 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\u2019d like to ask CWG whether
this interpretation is correct and both is clearly expressed in the proposal.

we recommend adapting the related text accordingly.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000"><BR>The
comments re PTI board selection process to my opinion still touch on
implementation issues, and I don\u2019t think a question for more detail in the
current proposal may be too early. But I\u2019m open to different advice.</DIV>

<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> </DIV>
<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> </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></OL></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>I don\u2019t fully understand
this summary of the comments. The CWG proposal has a whole framework for
establishing SLEs and reviewing IANA\u2019s performance on a regular basis. Are the
commenters questioning whether the PTI Board has a role related to the
performance of the naming functions? Or something else?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
