[CWG-Stewardship] Remember to send questions and comments to legal advice from Sidley Austin

[Greg Shatan]

I second what Milton is saying.  I think Paul is proposing essentially an
inversion of the Sidley Austin model (and by extension the "Integrated
Hybrid Model" or the "Internal Model with Structural Separation").  As I
read Paul's suggestion, instead of having the affiliate be the
"Post-Transition IANA" (i.e., the IANA Functions operations "in a box"),
the affiliate would be the "Post-Transition Oversight/Accountability
Mechanism" ("PTOAM"?).  Presumably, this would keep the IANA Functions
operations inside of ICANN as a (functionally separated) unit.  The PTOAM
would then be much like Contract Co. (although [possibly] "affiliated" with
ICANN rather than completely independent).
