I have entered some additional points on the draft PTI AoI for
your consideration as that is the most imminent deadline.<br>

Subject: [PC-NCSG] PTI bylaws - items for possible

<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>
