Subject: [PC-NCSG] PTI bylaws - items for possible discussion<br>

<p>Hi all</p>
Quickly reading through the proposed PTI by-laws (circulated
to the CWG yesterday and on the ICANN website
<a href="https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-pti-bylaws-12jul16-en.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/draft-pti-bylaws-12jul16-en.pdf</a>
) I note the following (BUT I am sure that I have missed
some points worthy of discussion):<br>
<br>
1. principal office issue (Art 2)<br>
<span lang="EN-US"><br>
"The principal office for the transaction of the business
of the Corporation may be established at any place or
places within or without the State of California by
resolution of the Board.<span> </span>The Board may at
any time establish branch or subordinate offices at any
place or places where the Corporation is qualified to
transact business."<br>
<br>
</span> Q. Why would the power to determine the principal
office of PTI not be subject to the same rules as for
ICANN's place of business - if there is a change surely the
empowered community should have a say, and not just the PTI
Board (assuming Board in the article means PTI Board)? We
have the EC involved significantly in the decision-tree for
PTI - why not in determining its place of business as we do
for ICANN itself?<br>
<br>
2. purpose of PTI (art 3)<br>
<br>
<span lang="EN-US">"The specific purpose of the Corporation
is to operate exclusively for the benefit of, to perform
the functions of and to carry out the purposes of the
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“<b>ICANN</b>”)."<br>
<br>
Q. I thought that the purpose of the PTI subsidiary was to
perform the IANA functions pursuant to the inter-company
contract established between ICANN and PTI?<br>
<br>
<br>
3. Removal of Director (Art 5.6.2) - isn't the first
sentence in contradiction with the other three paras? it
says may be removed w/out cause but then lists the
causes.... May be this is just legalese....<br>
<br>
<br>
4. Responsibilities of officers (Art 7.6.1) - role of
President. Given that we are suggesting that the Chair of
the Board be, as is possible, nominated to the ICANN Board
by the nominating committee - do we really want the
President - who will be an ICANN appointee (typically the
manager of the IANA functions) - to assume the role of
Chairperson in the latter's absence? Why would we not
suggest that the other nominating committee appointed
Director be the replacement if the Chair is absent to
ensure a balance of interests/independence?<br>
</span><br>
These bylaws are now also up for public comment:<br>
