<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">We received a copy of the Post-Transition IANA (PTI) document for discussion dated May 24, 2016.&nbsp; We note that the document contemplates two contracts where we had expected a single contract.&nbsp;
 Specifically, page 4 of the document refers to a naming function contract and an intercompany services agreement – the latter covers staffing, other resources and funding of PTI.&nbsp; We expected all of these concepts to be addressed in the single ICANN-PTI Contract
 that is contemplated by the CWG Proposal, and that is addressed in Section 16.3 of the draft ICANN bylaws.&nbsp; We would suggest combining them. &nbsp;This will allow Section 16.3 of the draft ICANN bylaws to appropriately address all the relevant ICANN-PTI obligations.&nbsp;
 We are flagging this issue for your consideration.&nbsp; Please let us know if you would like to discuss.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
