<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">I find the statement about &#8220;Separation Costs&#8221; below to be very strange. If there is a separation process and it results in separation, PTI is &#8220;fired&#8221; and no
 one covers its expenses. It goes out of business. ICANN contracts with someone else. For that reason, I agree in principle with RySG concept of earmarked or set-side funds for the IFO regardless of who it is. Stephanie, is there something about this statement
 I did not understand correctly? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
