[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] New Deadline - 26 July 2019 - input on updated draft Final Report and outstanding questions

[Samantha Eisner]

To further refine John's statement, the internal organizational structure of ICANN is within the CEO's power to determine and does not require Board action or resolution, so long as the CEO is acting within his Bylaws-granted and Board delegated powers.

I'm sorry, but that completely misses the point of PTI.  It exists as a
separate subsidiary because it has multiple clients: the RIRs, the IETF,
and ICANN.  As I may have mentioned once or twice, that's irrelevant to
this CCWG.

ICANN can authorize a department to act however it wants so long as it
complies with ICANN's mission and US and California law.  There is no need
to add extra layers of corporate or other structure.  All that's needed is
a resolution from the board setting it up.

By the way, Alan reminded me that I conflated options B and C.  The
captive foundation is option C.  Option B, is as far as I can tell, the
same as option A with extra layers of bureaucracy which, of course, would
again add complexity with no advantage to anyone.  The only option that
makes any sense is A.

R's,
John
