It stands for the Root Zone Evolution Review Committee

The name is new. The committee is described in paragraph 155 of the 
CWG proposal. 1155 of the ICG proposal I think.

The 5 years is a mandatory review.

There is similarly no process for formally naming them. It is up to 
the appointing body (they all come from somewhere specific).

>PTI ) bylaw recognises the formation of the RZERC

ICANN. The RZERC advises the ICANN Board and can act as an advisor to 
other groups as necessary (such as IANA itself)


>- Is the RZERC a new ICANN AC?

It is an advisory committee, but not an Advisory Committee in the 
sense of the ACs defined in the Bylaws. The Board has the 
responsibility of approving substantive changes in the RZ 
architecture and operation. The RZERC is a resource it uses to do the analysis.


>- Who funds the activities of the RZERC?

To the extent that it needs funds, ICANN.

They are paid double what I am paid and tripple what you are paid.

No connection. The PTI Board oversees the physical operation of PTI. 
The ICANN Board, replacing NTIA, is responsible for RZ issues as per 
the previously mentioned section of the CWG/ICG reports.
