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

Annex F: update membership (note an extra person in RySG where not supposed to be)
