The fifth separation mechanism is basically the creation of a Contract CO. Is this correct?
I do not think so. ICANN itself, with all the new accountabilty stuff is eqiuvalent of Contract Co. - IANA Stewardship organization. What the fifth option seems to me to be, is the creation of a free standing IANA company that is one has a contract with ICANN to do the services for Names. ICANN is still the one awarding the contract. Some have argued that having PTI owned by ICANN means that they will be manipulated by ICANN. Some do not trust that ICANN will keep an arm's length relationship with the PTI. If there came a day when complete separation were necessary for the well being and indepndnece of the IANA entity then one of the option might be to spin it out as an independent company. Scenario (_/*purely speculative*/_ but Jonathan asked for Scenarios): A one day, after Accountability WS2 , ICANN has developed a viable wistleblower policy, and a whistleblower comes along with conclusive evidence of how ICANN VPs are using their power over the PTI to make sure that family members are being given the best jobs with extraordinary salaries at PTI, they have forced out some of the senior PTI talent and are being protected from having to do any work. We further learn that others at ICANN have been engaged in a cover-up of this activity and engaged in a pattern of intimidation. As a result, other PTI employees are not only being paid less that the ICANN cronies, they are no longer able to get the work done properly. As a consequence, CSC has been complaining about a pattern of irresponsiblity especially in repsonding to customer complaints. The SR is initiated and after seeing evidence that convinces them this cannot be cured without complete separation, there is a decsion to set up the PTI as a fully separate entity that has a contractual relationship with ICANN but does not own the PTI. Improbable. but in the word of possible scenarios, not an unheard of possibility. S But the contract would still be between ICANN the Policy entity and IANA. avri

That is one of the questions asked? Most reviews are approved by the Board before they have further action. Isn't it part of the check and balances. And if they don't agree isn't that why we have the various redress mechanisms?
> > The fifth possible separation mechanism is " Initiate full separation of the IANA affiliate". Does this mean separation of PTI from ICANN?
Yes. one of the option in the various models we discussed was an independent free standing PTI depending on the circumstances, this might an option those responsible at the time might want to consider. As I said in the meeting today, I think the point is avoid presaging the type of decision they might need to take.
