<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="DE-CH">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 &quot;parent&quot; (thus my use of &quot;puppet&quot; 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>

First, I agree that the PTI board has responsibility for PTI, as described in the excerpt I pasted in earlier.&nbsp; Generically, &quot;insider&quot; boards are also answerable to the parent company (sole shareholder) and to their board.&nbsp; It is typically a more constrained
 set of responsibilities, and much less independent than the board of an independent company.&nbsp; Even within those parameters, there are more or less active boards.&nbsp; I doubt that I would describe any as a complete &quot;puppet&quot; -- was that someone else's positive
 description or just your somewhat negative one?<br>
