 Avri and AllThank you to all for the hard and good work in producing the document.  

Thank you Avri for raising these issues/
In addition I wish to seek further clarification on the following section of the Strawman 1a- Amendment of ICANN Bylaws

2.       Require theIANA Functions Operator and any employees involved in the operation of the IANAFunctions to implement the IANA Naming Functions in accordance with the policies developed bythe ccNSO and Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO).
 (Question:  Would the ccNSO policies be binding on non-members, countries and territories that develop the their local ccTLD policies?  Can such variations be included in the amendments?)
b-Composition of Oversight Bodya.      RegistryOperators.  The members of theOPRC will be the registry operators, as direct customers of the IANA namingfunctions[NT1] .
The above provision seems inconsistent with the NTIA’s requirement of a Multistakeholder approach arrangement. Is the OPRC just a technical committee or inclusive of administrative oversight as performed by NTIA?

c. Appointment of Independent Evaluator:
a.       Appoint orremove an evaluator assigned to verify that a root zone change request followedall applicable policies and procedures and authorize such change before it isimplemented by the Root Zone Maintainer. The independent evaluator should beappointed for set contract periods of [3] years with the possibility of renewalat the agreement of both parties. The OPRC shall be empowered to reassign theirresponsibilities due to a finding of a conflict of interest or a determinationthat the evaluator failed to properly perform its duties.                      i.            Theappointment of an independent evaluator should take place through an open andtransparent process, with the opportunity for input by the ICANNmulti-stakeholder community. 

This seems to be another layer and complication to the NTIA requirements. Can OPCR establish sub-committees to handle such technical task similar to what the NTIA does to IANA function operator regarding compliance with polices for root zone changes? 
d- Funding of OPRCi.                          Thisis too restrictive and may exclude developing countries’ ccTLDs who may not be commercial entities. It would also restrict  other stakeholders who may not be in the position to cover their costs from participating.

 Hi,

I added a few comment to Kurt's version.

I basically had difficulty with several aspects of it.
- the unistakeholder approach
- the lack of a credible separability mechanism for removing the
function to another contractor if needed
- the reliance on changes to the bylaws that could be undone

thanks
