<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">No, if you believe that the Contract Co. is “another ICANN” it is a misperception. The idea for a Contract Co. was not mine, but the people who came up with it
told me that the whole point of creating Contract Co. was to avoid creating something like ICANN that could grow and possibly spin out of control. And by separating PRT from Contract Co., we can also ensure that the PRT does not become a monster. Indeed, I
think your idea of a PRT drawn from the ICANN community holding the contracting or MoU power over ICANN is far more dangerous than the current model. The PRT is temporary and multistakeholder and the contract Co. does what the PRT tells it to do at a particular
time, that is my understanding. I think it seems like a good way to avoid some of the potential problems associated with replacing the NTIA. Others can speak up if they think I got it wrong. How this works legally? I will let the lawyers explain.

to create another corporation in the U.S. or because it is creating “another ICANN.”
