selecting the PTI Nominating Committee Directors would not be in place prior to the transition and recommended that the two directors be identified prior to the transition to serve in the interim until the first election of PTI directors. It was recommended
that the Co-chairs of the CWG-Stewardship, Lise Fuhr and Jonathan Robinson, serve as the initial Nominating Committee Directors until the first election of the PTI directors. The CWG-Stewardship supports this recommendation. Should these individuals be unable
to serve, the CWG-Stewardship would select qualified alternate nominees, and appointment of these alternate nominees would be subject to ICANN’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The CWG-Stewardship proposes that Section
5.5.1 of the Draft PTI Bylaws be modified as set forth below to describe the process for selecting the initial Nominating Committee Directors to be in place at the time of transition.
