To further refine John's statement, the internal organizational structure of ICANN is within the CEO's power to determine and does not require Board action or resolution, so long as the CEO is acting within his Bylaws-granted and Board delegated powers. ____ Samantha Eisner Deputy General Counsel, ICANN 12025 Waterfront Drive, Suite 300 Los Angeles, California 90094 USA Direct Dial: +1 310 578 8631 ________________________________________ From: Ccwg-auctionproceeds <ccwg-auctionproceeds-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of John Levine <johnl@taugh.com> Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 10:13 AM To: Maureen Hilyard Cc: CCWG Auction Proceeds Subject: Re: [Ccwg-auctionproceeds] New Deadline - 26 July 2019 - input on updated draft Final Report and outstanding questions
The point is that ICANN can create a structure/department that can act autonomously
I'm sorry, but that completely misses the point of PTI. It exists as a separate subsidiary because it has multiple clients: the RIRs, the IETF, and ICANN. As I may have mentioned once or twice, that's irrelevant to this CCWG. ICANN can authorize a department to act however it wants so long as it complies with ICANN's mission and US and California law. There is no need to add extra layers of corporate or other structure. All that's needed is a resolution from the board setting it up. By the way, Alan reminded me that I conflated options B and C. The captive foundation is option C. Option B, is as far as I can tell, the same as option A with extra layers of bureaucracy which, of course, would again add complexity with no advantage to anyone. The only option that makes any sense is A. R's, John

PTI's structure and functions have no relationship to the ccwg's. I do not understand why people keep bringing it up.
PTI does administrative activities under contract to icann and others. It does nothing even a little bit like giving out grants.
