<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1f497d">Having been through the thread following release of the “Draft: Summary of Legal Structure for CWG Proposal”, we wanted to highlight a few key points reflecting
our understanding and agreement or disagreement with comments.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1f497d">First, overall it seems to be a succinct and effective summary of where we have arrived at. This includes capturing the critical CCWG dependencies including
the requirement for one or more “fundamental bylaws”.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1f497d">As far as the Affiliate is concerned, it is our understanding that this is the model we have delicately moved towards through a process of provisional elimination
during our meetings, including the two intensive work days with dedicated sessions on “structure”. In other words, provided this model does not prove to be fundamentally flawed as we scrutinise and develop it in cooperation with our legal advisors, it is the
likely outcome of the work of the CWG.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1f497d">As far as compatibility with the other (numbers and protocols) proposals to the ICG and associated arrangements, we do not presume anything about the other
proposals or future arrangements. Save for the fact that we have sought to be aware of them and therefore be sensitive to the need (for the ICG) to ultimately integrate these with the names proposal from this group. We are not currently aware of any overarching
incompatibility or issue that will mean the three proposals cannot be integrated and ultimately this will be up to the ICG to work on in conjunction with the proposing communities. That said, we believe that we (co-chairs) have made it clear that we are very
receptive to and willing to engage with anyone including the core teams behind the other two proposals to the ICG for information or any other relevant purpose.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

agree that ICANN will provide the services via an affiliate, while keeping ICANN as the contractual party. In other words, this is basically a non-issue.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

I had not gotten that impression. It is still the compromise point between an Internal and Contract Co ( still waiting in the background in the event there is no compromise, I expect). I thought it was still very much in the mix.<br>
