<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This looks pretty good to me. I have just two personal comments:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="color:#1F497D">Regarding comment A1, I personally think that the change of ‘IANA Department’ to ‘PTI’ should be made as long as we make a direct quote but we could insert a footnote that explains that it is understood
that this would mean PTI in the transition. Another approach would be to avoid a direct quote, in which case I think it would be okay to say ‘PTI’ instead of the IANA Department.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><span style="color:#1F497D"><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><![endif]><span style="color:#1F497D">Regarding comment A2, whether or not we say ‘</span>just the IANA names customers or all customers<span style="color:#1F497D">’ depends on the context. It is difficult to answer this question without
knowing how all of the IANA function costs will be budgeted. Will all of the IANA function costs be built into the PTI budget, including those for the protocol and numbers support? If so, then it is probably okay to say ‘IANA customers’ when talking about
the PTI budget. On the other hand, if the IANA support costs for the protocol and numbers communities are not included in the PTI Budget, then when talking about the PTI Budget, I think we should say ‘IANA names customers’. We made need to find out from
Xavier how they anticipate budgeting the support costs for the protocol and numbers communities. If that is not possible in time for the submission of the letter, then I don’t think it is a big problem to just leave the text as is for now. If we obtain clarity
on how all of the IANA functions costs will be budgeted, then we may need to modify the wording in the entire paragraph to match the feedback we get. For example, if we learn that costs for all IANA functions will be in the PTI budget, then just talking about
PTI instead of PTI/IANA may work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

not clear from this discussion whether you are referring to the existing costs of the IANA department, which need to be itemized perhaps in order to determine the size of the PTI budget going forward, or whether you are referring to the PTI budget. For example
when you refer to support functions allocation and shared resources what are you taking about? one would think that when PTI is separate almost all costs will be direct. PTI should be a separate organization with its own facilities and staff. We don't want
to encourage a situation where the purpose of legal separation is subverted by embedding IANA so deeply within ICANN that it really is not a separate corporation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">One other issue. It is now important to be careful about the name of the PTI. Originally, PTI stood for “post-transition IANA”. Going forward the term IANA will be a trademark owned by the IETF trust or some equivalent,
and the domains will also be owned by the trust. Because it is a principle of the transition that the IANA functions operator will not control these terms, it would not be appropriate for the name the corporate name of PTI to include IANA. So perhaps we can
just use the acronym. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
