<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">I certainly agree with Jorge that the Board form should be based on its function – and Greg’s crib-sheet on the role of Boards – is helpful in this.<br>
<br>
In addition, we need to think about the constraints that we have (rightly) been putting on the autonomy of the IANA functions operator.<br>
<br>
On the other side, I’d be alarmed at two Boards, one reporting to the other, that are designed to be multi-stakeholder and with members chosen through separate processes. We are asking for confusion, if not downright competition between the two Boards – which
one is the authority in any particular case?<br>
<br>
A number of people have stated that the PTI Board really does need to be a Management Board – and I think that this is where Brenden’s augmentation of Milton’s outline comes in.<br>
<br>
So where is the multi-stakeholder element? I’d suggest there are a number of mechanisms:<br>
<br>
1. Publication of reports (as is currently the case) with the IANA functions operator team meeting with the wider community in discussion at ICANN meetings. No exclusions on involvement.<br>
2. An annual CSC report and annual meeting – again open to the wider community’s involvement.<br>
3. The PTI Board I think needs to be involved in 1 & 2 as well as giving its own reports to the ICANN Board (again public domain stuff for the main, with a couple of obvious exceptions).<br>
4. The ccNSO and GNSO processes leading to special reviews (PRF).<br>
5. The programmed review (PRF).<br>
6. Consultations from 4 & 5 leading to the report to the ICANN Board.<br>
7. Board response to the PRF (with consultation)<br>
8. ICANN Board “interrogation” processes in response to any concerns from 1-7.<br>
9. Accountability structures put in place to hold the ICANN Board and executive (which I would take to include the executive of the subsidiary) to account
<br>
<br>
In what way would adding a multi-stakeholder Board for the PTI benefit this process?
<br>
<br>
I’d say that the PTI Board (from the role Greg flagged for us) will have the role of: strategic planning for the work of the IANA functions operator; hiring, firing, reviewing and compensating (if applicable) the Executive Director; approving the annual
budget and annual financial statements and negotiating with the ICANN Board for the source of funds; ensuring legal compliance in administration and program operations and ensuring that the PTI keeps within its mandate. With the exception of the employment
terms of the Executive Director, all of these roles would be in the public domain and the multi-stakeholder community could question the PTI and ICANN Boards at the regular meetings.
<br>
<br>
However, for failings (as the model makes ICANN the steward) the buck stops with the ICANN Board and that would include it getting angry with the PTI Board for failure to respond to deteriorating performance or making its own policy or, or…<br>
<br>

All<br>
<br>
+ 1 Jorge, - and I very much agree with the latest statement from Alan, and also Avris statement on keeping in mind that with CSC being just registries and IGOs (the .int registrants), and the PRT being periodic, it does seem like we are well on our way toward
a nearly Multistakeholder free solution. We all agree that PTI board must be efficient, light wait and with skilled people, but I suggest that the CWG keep the PTI board representation open before the public hearing, - the function is not well enough defined
at this stage to agree on exact representation and numbers.<br>

<br>
Greg, I was supporting Jonathan's statement that it would make more sense to discuss who should be on the Board once we know what that Board will be doing.<br>
<br>
I can live with it doing nothing and all of the decisions coming from the "parent" (thus my use of "puppet" as in someone pulling the strings). I can live with a fully responsible board which would require a different set of players.<br>
<br>
One of the motivations for having a separate company is to have some independence from ICANN. If the ICANN Board makes all of the decisions, then the new accountability mechanisms will give the community the control it needs, but I am not sure why we are bothering
with this new structure or how it can be perceived as providing any buffer from ICANN. If the ICANN Board does NOT make the decisions, then this Board must, and thus a need for the MS community to be able to have some level of control.<br>
<br>
We need to decide WHAT we are doing before HOW.<br>
<br>

shareholder) and to their board. It is typically a more constrained set of responsibilities, and much less independent than the board of an independent company. Even within those parameters, there are more or less active boards. I doubt that I would describe
any as a complete "puppet" -- was that someone else's positive description or just your somewhat negative one?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
