3, I think we need to be very careful how we use ‘independent of ICANN’ because that could mean not using existing SOs and ACs, which I think would be a mistake.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Kindly find a few comments/questions below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">1. The existing IANA naming functions department, administrative staff and related resources, processes, data and know-how would be legally transferred into PTI</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don't think there is "IANA naming function department" but there is "IANA functions department" So i propose the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The IANA naming functions, related administrative staff and resources, processes, data and know-how would be legally transferred into PTI from the exiting "IANA functions department"</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I think it may be useful to be more specific about the IANA budget referred. So the wording below may be useful:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The IANA portion of the ICANN budget
<b>related to naming</b> would be subject to.......</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>3 <span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">.<span style="color:blue">....conducted by a multi-stakeholder body, independent from ICANN</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There is no section of the document that describe what independent in that statement meant. If it mean independent of ICANN board then it should be clearly stated.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">4. The strengths of this proposed structure are as follows:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Isn't item c on also a weakness in practical sense considering that ICANN is the source of funding of IANA?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">5. The weaknesses of the proposed structure are as follows:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I think introduction of new entity/structures creates accountability concerns which i think should be included as a weakness. Also the running cost of those structures should be included as a weakness
(overall the end-user bears the cost)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Last but not the list, the overall statement seem to miss mention of the formation of the charter/bylaw for the PRF?<o:p></o:p></p>
