MM:
.....But I do not think the board needs to be “multistakeholder” if
“multistakeholder” means that all the different stakeholder groups involved
in policy making have to be equally represented on it. Ideally the board of
a PTI would be small and very technical

SO:
Based on above, what then is the role of CSC? and more importantly where
does multistakeholder come in....Is PTI just about creating more seats
within ICANN for a few privileged without accountability to the community?
As S-A mentioned, who/how does PTI not become more unaccountable than the
current ICANN board.(paraphrased)

MM:
In response to your last point, in my view the PTI board _*oversees*_ the
IANA function; the operation of it, obviously, will be done by the staff

SO:
Which is practically the role currently carried out by ICANN(board) as it
concerns IANA function operation.

Overall maybe I am missing something in the puzzle
