Update on questions to ICANN Finance & Legal * Follow up call with Xavier from ICANN Finance and expect to receive responses today * Have yet to hear anything from ICANN Legal but this has been escalated with Theresa Swinehart 5. 1st Reading of Final Proposal Focus on updates to Sections III, IV, V Paragraph 98: Iron-out issues regarding transferring IANA to PTI (have been limited to IANA naming functions but this creates awkwardness) Paragraph 102: * take out "provisional" * add additional "independent" directors * add sentence: "CWG-Stewardship requires that the independent PTI Board members be selected through an appropriately rigorous selection method for which the NomCom is qualified" Note from Sidley: ICANN Board Directors are not considered "insiders". The idea is to be independent of ICANN management. Paragraph 106: Martin put a proposal for wording on the CWG-Stewardship list: add to the end: "However, the review mandate is strictly limited to evaluation against the SOW and does not include any policy or contracting issues that are not part of the IANA functions operation contract. In particular it does not include issues related to policy development and adoption processes, or evaluation or contract enforcement measures between contracted TLDs and ICANN." Paragraph 111: Martin suggested an edit for this paragraph Paragraph 113: Chuck made comments. Provide clarity about RFP Action: Avri to provide clarification text For Changes to Root Zone Management... --> DT-F will provide a new version shortly that will cover both main text and Annex Action: Alan to send DT-F update to staff when finalized Paragraph 150 change 3 months to "9 months" No objection to "ring-fenced" funds Annex F: update membership (note an extra person in RySG where not supposed to be) 6.
