[CWG-Stewardship] [IOTF] Rationale for PTI Staffing Recommendations

Hi,

Predictions of how horrible things might be at a possible separation
time aside, the most important consideration is satisfying the
conditions of the CWG proposal for separability.  Secondment strikes
many as being outside the spirit of our recommendations.  But in
consideration of existing employee sentiments, continuity and stability
it can be understood as a transition measure; albeit a slow one and not
the flag day sort of transition proposal many count on and believe in. 
But to mandate that secondment be permanent for all future employees
flies in the face of the recommendation for separability and makes a
farce of it.

I have also questioned the secondment of the PTI Manager/President
role.  Even in the first instance I do not believe this appropriate
given the possibility for conflict of interest should there be a
divergence between the PTI Board and ICANN on issues.  The President of
PTI needs to be fully committed to the PTI and not constrained by ICANN
as employer.
