<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We discussed the question you posted below on the last CWG call. Under California law, the principal office may be located outside of California. It was suggested on a CWG call that we conform the PTI provision
to the ICANN bylaws provision on this point. We have included this proposal in the draft comment letter on the PTI bylaws which we will circulate shortly.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In terms of approving a future change to the principal office location, EC approval is not required for a PTI bylaw amendment to change PTI’s principal office. Under the PTI bylaws, bylaw amendments require
the approval of ICANN (as the member) and at least four of the five directors of PTI. Any requirements under the ICANN bylaws for PTI bylaw amendments must also be met. Under the ICANN bylaws, the EC has a rejection or “veto” right for certain PTI bylaw
amendments, including a change from PTI’s status as a California nonprofit corporation, but not for a change to the location of PTI’s principal office.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">If EC approval of changes to PTI’s principal office is something the CWG wishes to pursue, CWG could propose that the provision addressing PTI’s principal office be included in the PTI articles instead of the
bylaws. The EC must approve any amendment to the PTI articles, so moving this provision to the PTI articles would give the EC the right to approve any change to PTI’s principal office. If that change is to be proposed, it must be included in the comment
letter which is due July 31.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">On the call of the 13th I raised an issue about the powers of the PTI Board to possibly change the principle office of PTI by resolution. I sought clarification if this was indeed intended, even possible given that it is a subsidiary
of ICANN, whether or not the ICANN Board and <u>importantly the empowered community or the OCs would
</u>have any say in the matter (surely they should given the purpose of PTI). ICANN cannot change its location without the empowered community - that should be the same in the case of PTI. We don't have fundamental or standard bylaws for PTI and this power
is not one of those expressly given to the empowered community.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Perhaps I missed the feedback on this but wanted to raise it again just in case.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Matthew<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in">Here is the questions I raised on the call:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><i>Matthew Shears: Okay. This actually has to do with just a - just seeking a clarification. I'm sorry to take you back to maybe Sidley could provide it back to<br>
(unintelligible) of the PTI bylaws where it talks about the principle office for transaction of business of a corporation. And it says in that article that the principle office may be established at any<br>
place or places within or without the State of California by resolution of the Board.<br>
And I was just wondering if in this particular case we could have a situation where the Board of PTI decided to move the principle office of PTI to some other location outside the State of California or indeed outside the United States possibly. And if that
were the case, would there be any mechanism by which the ICANN Board or indeed the empowered community would have a say over that decision? And if somebody could clarify that, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><i>Sharon Flanagan: Matthew, I need to check on whether that office could be outside of California. It wouldn't change - it wouldn't change the fact that the PTI is a California non-profit corporation. It would just be the physical
location. But let me get back. I'll send an email around to you all on that.</i><o:p></o:p></p>

<pre style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">Paul Kane: In the articles of association, it says the sole <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">function – apparently I haven’t read it, again I apologize – <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">function of PTI is to serve ICANN. Historically the function of <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">IANA has been to serve the community, ICANN just happens to be the <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">contract to doing it. And I don’t know if that is correct, if that’s what’s in the articles of incorporation.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">But if that is, it sort of has lost the raison d’etre of PTI. It is <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">not a service sector of ICANN because that makes it feel like a <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">department. It’s actually trying to serve a broader community such <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">as the naming community, the protocols and the numbers. But I <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">haven’t read it so I will try and read it so I might be wrong.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">Trang Nguyen: Thanks, Paul. Let me – so Section 3 of the articles <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">says this – it does say that the specific purpose of PTI is to <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">operate exclusively for the benefit of and to perform the functions <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">of and carry out the purposes of ICANN. And I want to go back and <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">double check that again the language that is in the ICANN bylaws <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">that has been adopted because I think some of this is the <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">reflection of what’s included in the ICANN bylaws. So we want to do <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">that cross check and come back to this group and see how it aligns <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">with – what’s in the ICANN bylaws. But that is currently what is <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">reflected in the PTI articles of incorporation. There are some <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">comments in the chat from James. Things that affect the agreement <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">are done by contract with ICANN for protocol and numbers means that <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">there needs to be language to that effect in the PTI articles…<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in"> <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">James Gannon: So, yes, Paul, I had a similar comment from somebody <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">else as well from the IETF area. And I think in I suppose <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">philosophical principle, yes, it is a slight change but I think in <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">the reality the fact that both the numbers and protocol communities <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">will still contract with ICANN it needs to be very clear in PTI’s <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">documents then that, yes, it is for the purposes of fulfilling the <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">IANA functions it needs to be able to serve the owners of those <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">contracts, which is ICANN still. So I think philosophically, yes, <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">it doesn’t really sound very right, but I think for the realities <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">of running PTI and for PTI to be accountable through the mechanisms <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">that we’ve built up that there does need to be language like that <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">inside the articles to make sure that it’s clear that the – those <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">two communities have the right of PTI serving their needs but also <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">then the accountability mechanism that we’ve put into ICANN are <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre style="margin-left:.5in">also then bound to PTI by that language going backwards. And I think Trang is right that it’s also reflected in the ICANN bylaws going downwards towards PTI.<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre style="margin-left:.5in">Trang Nguyen: Thank you, James. And I see Russ has similar comments <o:p></o:p></pre>
