Avri,

First, thank you *very much* for your e-mail. Please continue the
dialogue and do not feel that you should be quiet because you’ve
been involved in the CWG work. Your input here is very much
appreciated.

This is a key statement. Thank you.

My personal opinion is that I think that as long as the details of how you
control PTI are done right, you should have sufficient power. That is,
if the names community has the power you should be all right.

However, I do not think that the IETF having its agreement with
ICANN and the names community working with the PTI necessarily
means that our powers could not be united when needed. Just
like today, the communities are in contact. Just like today, if
a change had to be made, we would all discuss that and try
to do it together in a coordinated fashion.
