<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">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).</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:12pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#17365d">Gregory S.

</span>You did not misunderstand the Sidley-Austin discussion draft. You are, I think, misunderstanding Paul Kane. Paul seems to be asking that the Affiliate be more like the Contract Co.<br>
