<p dir="ltr">A quick observation; the legal separation option does not seem to included advantages/disadvantages like the functional separation. Secondly there may be need to clarify the expected role of CSC to the legal firm as it seem CSC in their proposal would have direct interaction up to ICANN board level (based on the notion that CSC will operate in the same manner as described in legal separation). Certainly, PRF necessity/composition is something that needs to be looked into in details (especially if ccwg comes up with a PRF like group).<br>
Overall I think it's a good writeup with signs of light at the end of the tunnel...the functional separation at the moment is looking more like that light.</p>
