Hi,



Would like to get the NCSG range of views on ICANN's plan/rationale for

secondment of all PTI staff in perpetuity.



The position I have taken personally is:



- I accept that in the initial instance, in consideration of the current

employees and of stability, it makes sense to second those IANA

employees that wish to the PTI.



- with the exception of the PTI managerPresident (if they happen to be

the same person) who I feel might have a conflict of interest in terms

of ICANN the employer and PTI the fiduciary responsibility. I think that

from day 0, this executive level employee should be a PTI employee

reporting solely to the PTI board.



- i think that replacement staff should be employed by PTI and not

ICANN. there is an issue with having two sort of employees, those

seconded from day 0 and new employees, but as long as staff are treated

well and equitably this shouldn't be a problem.



The CWG proposal did not get into this, though I think many of us

thought at the time that PTI staff would be PTI employees as part of the

separability formula.
