on the IANA Functions as a result of changes to ICANN’s financial situation. It furthermore is intended to capture the notion of secured funding for PTI that goes beyond one fiscal year. The objective of operational excellence means that there are sufficient
funds budgeted and available to ensure that PTI is able to deliver operational excellence as defined by Service Level Expectations/Service Level Agreements approved by each of the three operational communities for their respective IANA services.</span></i><i>”</i><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Bylaws, the CWG-Stewardship needs to finalize its position on the issue. There was support on the CWG-Stewardship call to adopt the DT-O recommendation, but a review period was sent for any further comments. </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">On the IOTF calls, and as presented during the staff implementation update yesterday, there is a suggestion for Jonathan and Lise to serve as interim PTI Board Directors until the PTI Board can be fully established.
They would serve as interim directors assuming there are no issues around conflict and independence. For the PTI Board formal selections, NomCom will be the appointing body and selection criteria will be provided by the CSC once established. The appointment
of interim directors will allow the implementation timeline to stay on track: establishing PTI, CSC and other structures as described in the IANA Stewardship Transition Proposal. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
