All:

If you pass the stewardship to the PTI, then the model starts to looks like one of the models that was discarded in Istanbul. That model was the one where the three entities, i.e. ICANN, RIRs and IETF, would have direct contracts with and "independent" PTI. This model was discarded because of its complexity (in the legal context).

I second what Milton is saying.  I think Paul is proposing essentially an inversion of the Sidley Austin model (and by extension the "Integrated Hybrid Model" or the "Internal Model with Structural Separation").  As I read Paul's suggestion, instead of having the affiliate be the "Post-Transition IANA" (i.e., the IANA Functions operations "in a box"), the affiliate would be the "Post-Transition Oversight/Accountability Mechanism" ("PTOAM"?).  Presumably, this would keep the IANA Functions operations inside of ICANN as a (functionally separated) unit.  The PTOAM would then be much like Contract Co. (although [possibly] "affiliated" with ICANN rather than completely independent).

You did not misunderstand the Sidley-Austin discussion draft. You are, I think, misunderstanding Paul Kane. Paul seems to be asking that the Affiliate be more like the Contract Co.
