Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. PTI is a
necessary element of the transaction and the Board is a
element of the transition. What's suggested here would
pull the entire Transition over to the side, at least
until some workaround was developed. Initial Directors
are commonplace in setting up new corporations. I trust
that Jonathan and Lise, both with significant experience
in senior management and board matters, will withstand
whatever apocryphal pressure might be put upon them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I'm not sure what a "very interested stakeholder" is.
If this means a very dedicated stakeholder, who is very
interested in assisting the community in achieving its
goals and who will work on these matters in spite of
personal and professional interests in doing other
things, I'll admit to that. If this means someone who
is operating in this CWG at the behest of "special
interests" and whose actions are designed to advancing
the undisclosed goals of those special interests, I
categorically reject and resent that. (The latter
description might apply to others, and that's
reasonable; it's just not my position, and if you are
referring to others, then I withdraw my sense of
umbrage.) <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Personally, I don't have any particular affinity for the
PTI solution, and I was opposed to removing the IANA IPR
from ICANN. Both of these were supported by the
consensus of this group, as was the overall concept of
enhancing "separability." On the latter point, I could
have chosen to sulk and withdraw (or insist I was right
long after it became an annoyance to the group). I
chose neither; rather, I pitched in and worked on
accomplishing the CWG's chosen goal to the best of my
ability. I felt this was and is the right approach as a
good community member and "multistakeholder." I won't
speak for CWG counsel, but any counsel's role is to
advise and caution on risks and concerns, and when the
path is chosen, to assist the client in seeing it
through. The fact that CWG's counsel is facilitating
the chosen approach of the CWG is manifestly
unexceptional; anything other than that would be
peculiar, to say the least. Finally, to see in this
some grand and concerted plan to dismantle ICANN (as the
IANA) seems rather hypervigilant, to say the least. If
someone has such a grand plan, I'm no better than a
"useful idiot" in that regard. I wouldn't discount it
entirely as someone's plan or goal (and I have had my
own musings on that front, without naming names), but I
do not ascribe it to some larger group (and certainly
not any group of which I am a part).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The fact that legal documents (Bylaws, Articles of
Incorporation, Agreements) contain legal language should
not be shocking. "Legalese" is often a pejorative term,
and I avoid it here to avoid misinterpretation. These
documents are in fact necessary to implement the
transition as designed. If anyone finds the documents
"impenetrable" in whole or in part, I'm sure that Sidley
would be more than happy to walk through the documents
line by line and explain them all to you (at their usual
hourly rate). (I might volunteer to do the same, but
I've learned repeatedly that some who need such
assistance are reject advice from a "participant" out of
fear that the participant is "very interested" and thus
would manipulate their explanations to serve some unseen
agenda or master.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

At the risk of repeating myself, the idea of a simple
transition, with no separability or designed-in
anticipation of separation, was rejected in this group a
long time ago, and after months of arduous discussion.
I have not heard widespread discontent with that
choice. Making a more complex choice obviously led to
more complex implementation. I happen to think it's
going quite well, though not without occasional bumps
and hurdles. It's certainly not gone so pear-shaped
that it should be scrapped. I will grant that for those
"less interested" (in the non-pejorative sense of being
less involved) may feel they have lost the thread a
bit. If there are webinars or recap meetings that could
help those who feel that way, it might be a good thing.
Those who are lost, perplexed or confused often tend to
imagine monsters around every bend where there's nothing
to behold, and that should be avoided to the extent
possible through explanation and edification.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The fact that various bodies have no experience with
something that doesn't exist yet also seems rather
obvious, but not one to engender massive changes at the
last minute. That was rather to be expected, wasn't
it? An alternate reality without reorganization and
separability (or one where any work on that is shelved)
has a certain charm and attraction in its relative
simplicity. However, I see nothing in our current state
of affairs that would support in any way a plan
drastically dismantle something that has been approved
by every community, the ICANN Board and the NTIA just
for the sake of taking a deep breath and looking around
a bit. On the other hand, I can imagine quite a number
of negative consequences from doing so at this late
date, or even attempting to do so. It's far better to
make sure that we are "socializing" this plan as often
as possible so that "monsters under the bed" of mistrust
and opportunism can be pointed out to be mere dust balls
that disintegrate just by blowing on them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Transition at this stage when - apparently - time
is of the essence. Particularly as some of this
material purports to address aspects of Internet
management about which there are - to the best of my
knowledge - no current concerns. Specifically, all
discussion of the legal aspects of eventual

The IOTF was simply put in place to provide
a high-frequency touch point for ICANN staff
as they worked on the implementation. The
context for the introduction of the IOTF was
the “secondment issue” whereby ICANN staff
got too far ahead of the community in their
implementation work. The IOTF had no
decision making capabilities, these remained
reserved for the CWG. Therefore, I am not

Comment</i></b>: In connection with the
work of the Implementation Oversight Task
Force, it was noted that the Nominating
Committee process for selecting the PTI
Nominating Committee Directors would not be in
place prior to the transition and recommended
that the two directors be identified prior to
the transition to serve in the interim until
the first election of PTI directors. It was
recommended that the Co-chairs of the
CWG-Stewardship, Lise Fuhr and Jonathan
Robinson, serve as the initial Nominating
Committee Directors until the first election
of the PTI directors. The CWG-Stewardship
supports this recommendation. Should these
individuals be unable to serve, the
CWG-Stewardship would select qualified
alternate nominees, and appointment of these
alternate nominees would be subject to ICANN’s
approval (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). The CWG-Stewardship
proposes that Section 5.5.1 of the Draft PTI
Bylaws be modified as set forth below to
describe the process for selecting the initial
Nominating Committee Directors to be in place
at the time of transition. <span
