<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">I would disagree with CW's suggestion. This is germane and on-topic for this forum. The PTI board is a reasonably significant aspect of the CWG's proposal. It would be an abdication of our responsibilities not to propose a board when we are proposing such an entity. "All stakeholders" will be free to comment during the public comment period (which is, of course, an open process). The other IANA "customer" communities can also weigh in directly during the ICG phase. It should also be kept in mind that this is the board of an entity wholly-controlled by ICANN, so it is essentially an internal-to-ICANN matter.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Greg Shatan</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 2:32 PM, CW Lists <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lists@christopherwilkinson.eu" target="_blank">lists@christopherwilkinson.eu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word">Good evening:<div><br></div><div>May I suggest that the present thread is off-topic, if not invidious.</div><div>The composition of the eventual PTI Board, if any, should be discussed in open process with all stakeholders concerned, when the time comes.</div><div>CWG is not the appropriate forum.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>CW</div></font></span><div><div class="h5"><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 20 Apr 2015, at 20:20, Greg Shatan <<a href="mailto:gregshatanipc@gmail.com" target="_blank">gregshatanipc@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Andrew, </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Contract Co. was intended to have a small, tightly-focused board with the legal minimum of responsibilities.

</span>The maximal responsibilites the PTI board can have are its legal<br>
function and the normal board function of managerial oversight. If it<br>
can be any larger than that, we're well into Contract Co land.<br>
<br>
So even if there is a slightly larger function, it still militates in<br>
favour of a small, tightly-focussed board along the lines Milton<br>
proposed.<br>
