-

Whereas, ICANN, in its role as sole member of PTI, has the obligation to elect all members of the PTI Board in accordance with Article 5 of the PTI Bylaws.
Whereas, the term for Seats 1 and 3 of the PTI Board are up for election.
Whereas, the Nominating Committee selected Tobias Sattler to serve in Seat 1 of the PTI Board for the term beginning at the end of this meeting of the Member and ending at the end of the annual meeting of the Member in 2025, pursuant to Section 5.5.1.1 of the PTI Bylaws.

Rationale for Resolutions 2022.09.22.41 – 2022.09.22.44
The resolutions taken here today fulfill ICANN's responsibility, as the sole member of PTI, to annually elect the President of PTI and elect Directors to the Board. The regular election of a PTI President and elections of Directors will allow the PTI Board to continue its work.
The election of the PTI President and Board directors are taken fully in line with the obligations as set forth in the PTI Bylaws, and respectful of the community's recommendations of the proposed composition of the Board.
These actions confirm ICANN's continued commitment to its Bylaws' obligations surrounding the performance of the IANA Functions that are contracted to PTI. This also directly serves ICANN's mission to ensure the stable and secure operations of the Internet's unique identifiers, and serves the public interest in the continued stable performance of the IANA functions.
None of the actions taken today are anticipated to have any impact on the security, stability, or resiliency of the DNS, though PTI is essential to ICANN's security, stability, and resiliency work. There are resource implications in supporting PTI, which are reflected in the PTI, IANA and ICANN Budgets.
The appointment of the PTI President and the appointment of the PTI Board are Organizational Administrative Functions for which public comments were not necessary.
The Chair then called the meeting to a close.
