Dear all,

From my understanding of PTI was that it's going to be the new IANA that will serve the 3OCs (even though numbers and protocols contracts with ICANN).

If my high-level understanding above is right, then i think there may be something wrong in the fy17 draft budget which has just been brought to my attention.

https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/proposed-opplan-budget-fy17-05mar16-en.pdf

Page 25 item 4 says the following:

PTI- New legal entity, destined to host activities and costs of the IANA functions in service of
the *Names community*

Then page 27 seem to imply that PTI will indeed serve the names alone. At the moment, I have not considered the application of this new arrangement and unless I am missing something, I don't think this was what was proposed.
