<b>Subject</b>: [client com] PTI Board Composition: IANA Managing Director <br>
</font> <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">All:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">In the course of discussing the composition of the "inside" (controlled) PTI Board, I believe we have stated that three seats would be appointed by ICANN, with two being unspecified ICANN employees
and one being the "IANA Managing Director." I've been asked to clarify who this IANA Managing Director is (since this title does not currently exist). Specifically:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">1. Will the IANA Managing Director be an employee of ICANN or of PTI? </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">2. Is this intended to be the person in the role currently held by Elise Gerich (currently a VP of ICANN for IANA and Technical Operations)? </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">3. If this person is an employee of PTI and not ICANN, does that still qualify for purposes of making it an inside board (keeping in mind that ICANN does not "own" PTI, and that the only reason
this person is controlled by ICANN is because ICANN controls PTI (which creates a circularity of reasoning))?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">4. Can this person be an employee of ICANN
<u>and</u> PTI (at least so that question 3 is resolved)?</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Some next level questions:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">5. Why are we calling this person a "Managing Director," which is not commonly used in US non-profit corporations to my experience? (The typical senior board-appointed offices are President,
Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. Managing Director seems to show up primarily in investment banks and other financial services entities. If this person is intended to be at the helm of PTI, we should use the term President.)</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">6. How will the board handle matters related to this person (compensation, etc.)? If she recuses herself, there will only be 4 directors voting.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I look forward to clarification and apologize if this is clear somewhere and I missed it.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br>
