Strongly agree with Carlos – GDD should not be seconding employees to PTI It undermines the whole rationale for separation From: NCSG-Discuss [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Stephanie Perrin Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2016 9:41 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [] IOFT: Rationale for PTI Staffing Recommendations +1. Conflict of interest needs to be more of a focus now.

I don´t understand how GDD staff can be the DNS TLD market maker, the RAA/RRA compliance officer (as newly announced), and staff the PTI, all at the same time, without risk of getting into conflicts of interest at some point. But maybe we are talking about a very easy "clerical role" and everything is covered by the new ACCT framework. Maybe you can enlighten me here.

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. avri -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [IOTF] Rationale for PTI Staffing Recommendations Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2016 17:05:05 +0000 From: Yuko Green <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Dear members of the IOTF, Attached, please find the rationale for PTI staffing recommendations we have made in the PTI Implementation Approach document.
