<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">I have looked over the proposed response to RZM question 1 and would have to reject what is proposed and offer this alternative.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="margin-left:.5in">No, the Verisign-ICANN proposal does not meet the requirements of 1150 Sections 2 and multiple annexes of the transition proposal, because it only addresses the NTIA authorization role and does not address the
 nature of the agreement that would be required to ensure that PTI's zone file modifications are implemented by Verisign.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">The current draft asserts that only the NTIA can address the post-transition relationship between Verisign and PTI and ICANN. This is incorrect. It is true
 that only NTIA can modify the Cooperative Agreement with Verisign. But future Verisign-ICANN or PTI-Verisign relationships, contractual or otherwise, are not part of the cooperative agreement. NTIA cannot be suddenly given the responsibility of determining
 how ICANN, PTI and the RZM relate in the future, any more than we can ask it to define the nature of the CSC or the board structure of PTI. This seems obvious to me, perhaps others can explain why they think this critical part of the transition cannot be addressed
 by the CWG. I also find it interesting how the proposed response simply ignores the &#8220;multiple annexes of part 1&#8221; aspect of the request.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;color:#1F497D">I realize that as an ICG member, being part of the body that posed the question, I am also proposing a response. But I am forced to do that because the proposed
 response really does not answer the question; indeed, it seems to be intent on avoiding it. And at this stage in the game, we want to avoid another round of questions that would inevitably occur if you fail to actually answer the question.
