Let's see how the facts play out. I don't think that the ISOC or PIR foundations are role models, as they are indeed "captive" foundations. But as I have followed the ISOC Foundation, that certainly got set up very quickly.</div>

<div class="PlainText">> While I greatly appreciate the progress to treat all 3 mechanisms until we further prioritize neutrally, I am objecting to the following insertion which once again conveys that Mechanism C in certain situation [e.g. an independent Foundation]
is less desirable than Mechanism A or B.<br>
<br>
I think you're in the rough here. To me, the obvious disadvantages of <br>
mechanism C are so great, more delay, more expense, more bureaucracy, that <br>
it's not worth additional attention.<br>
<br>
I think you'll find that a "fully independent" foundation would give <br>
ICANN's lawyers a heart attack, since if it's fully independent, ICANN has <br>
no way to ensure that the money is distributed appropriately. If it's a <br>
captive foundation, ICANN can always tell it where to send the money <br>
because that's how captive foundations work. I am dismayed that we still <br>
seem to be arguing about these basic facts of corporate organization.<br>
