[CWG-Stewardship] PTI Board Composition

[Milton L Mueller]

Alan:
Chuck said (and I agree) that two of the board members should be selected by the ccNSO and gNSO. 
It is obviously a mistake to refer to the GNSO as "registries." Registries are one of only 4 stakeholder groups there. 
As for ccNSO, given the fact that PTI manages the IANA, which has a particularly sensitive relationship to ccTLDs, I am having trouble understanding ALAC's objection to letting the ccNSO pick a director, also. Indeed, if I were a ccTLD operator, I would object strenuously to any solution that did NOT involve such a right. One could also argue that ccTLD operators and boards are often (though not always) chosen by a local MS community.

I think ALAC needs to reconsider its position. It seems poorly thought out.
