  ICANN Announces Incorporation of Public Technical Identifiers (PTI)

ICANN today announced that the incorporation documents for the
"Post-Transition IANA" organization have been filed and received by the
California Secretary of State under the name Public Technical
Identifiers (which will now be referred to as PTI). With this filing and
receipt, PTI is now formed as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and
controlled affiliate of ICANN.

The PTI Incorporation Documents were drafted to reflect the
recommendations of the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group
(ICG) proposal, as provided to the ICANN Board and transmitted to NTIA
on 10 March 2016. PTI was formed to perform the
naming-related IANA functions under contract with ICANN.

The PTI Articles were posted for public comment on 1 July 2016. At its
meeting on 9 August 2016, the ICANN Board approved the PTI Articles and
directed ICANN staff to move forward with the incorporation of PTI.

Although PTI now exists as a legal entity, it is not yet performing any
work. PTI will not perform any services under the IANA Functions
Contract with NTIA. PTI will only start performing the IANA functions
upon the successful completion of the transition. At that point, PTI
will perform the IANA functions pursuant to an IANA Naming Functions
Contract with ICANN (released for public comment
<https://www.icann.org/public-comments/iana-naming-function-agreement-2016-08-10-en> from
10 August – 9 September 2016) and the subcontracts with ICANN for the
performance of the numbering and protocol parameter services.

For purposes of coherence of the IANA functions and overall operational
logistics, the ICG proposal requires that the performance of
the IANA numbering and protocol parameter functions be subcontracted to
PTI. These subcontracting agreements are drafted and will be executed
between PTI and ICANN so that they are in effect upon transition.

The proposed Articles of Incorporation are the first of the various
governance documents that will be necessary for PTI to be put into
operation. In the coming weeks, ICANN will also be posting the final
versions of the PTI Bylaws, Conflict of Interest Policy, Board Code of
Conduct, and Expected Standards of Behavior. Each of these documents has
already been subject to public comment, and will be submitted
for ICANN and PTI Board approvals (where appropriate) before the transition.

All efforts surrounding the Incorporation of PTI are designed to meet
one of key the recommendations in the ICG proposal: the formation of a
new legal entity to perform the three IANA functions. All
implementation-planning efforts can be tracked
