Dear Martin,
Tks for explanation
The first part of the message " In the model in front of us today, at
transition ICANN would take the NTIA responsibility for a contract with its
affiliate (subsidiary) the PTI " is not clearly mentioned in CWG where as
it was especifically mentioned in Legal  Memo dated 04 April as I did cite
in previous message .
For the rest I have the same understanding as your
 Consequently, the part that ICANN WILL PERFORM THE CURRENT ROLE OF NTIA
needs to be mentioned at the beginning of the CSC paragraph e.g.
While ICANN would take the NTIA responsibility for a contract with its
affiliate (subsidiary) the PTI – where PTI is the contractor currently
providing the IANA functions operator, the IANA division in ICANNm, CSC is
to carry out the operational responsibilities associated with managing the
contract.
This paraphrasing is necessary to avoid misinterpreting the Roles of icann
AND THE rOLE of CSC.
It is always good to talk with Professional that nicely, quietly and
respectfully provide the clarification.
Aggressive Approach does not work at least with me.
I have never ever yeilded to any pressure at all and will not do it
Tks again it was a kind and helpful clarification.
Regards
Kavouss .
