That said, with respect to Avri's writeup, I am also wondering what the full separation of affiliate mean since I now understand affiliate to mean an entity not "owned" by ICANN. If there is going to be any further separation, I would think initiating an RFP process and moving the function to another operator would be the case; ICANN is now the steward not PTI
As I understood: If the PTI is a LLC, then it would be completely owned by ICANN and could even be dissolved by ICANN and reabsorbed. If the PTI is an affiliate with a Insider board it is not owned but it is completely controlled via its Board, Contract and Budget. If the PTI is an affiliate with an outsider Board it is not owned but it is controlled via Contract and Budget. To relate this to the SR, each would present a different set of opportunities for SR action, that is why the 5 possibilities in the SR text are really just examples, an incomplete set in the whole universe of examples, that the SR mechanism could recmmend. As I mentioned in the call this is my personal reason for thinking that an SR event, needs to be quite similar to the current Transition event. It would be a big deal that the whole community would need to be involved in. avri --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com
