I think this is a good proposal mainly because it broadens the executive search by providing widely different perspectives and advice which will originate from the entire ICANN community... this proposal is in line with the multi-stakeholder nature of the organization.

Small edit: in the proposal, it was meant to write Chatham House Rule (CHR) - http://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/chathamhouserule

However, under this rule, each appointed individual will speak for him/herself not necessarely on behalf of their constituency of affiliation... and the list of participants cannot be published, which is problematic ...the CHR may have to be slightly tweeked to our specific circumstance...

Subject: Proposal for leadership group to support CEO succession and input/360 Group proposal

 

 

Dear colleagues

During the ICANN Dakar Session with the ICANN Board Committee charged with recruitment and selection of the next CEO/President of ICANN, I made a short proposal, and was invited by George Sadowsky, Chair of the Selection Committee to elaborate on that proposal. 

 

Today, I submitted the attached proposal to the email provided for community input. I invite your consideration of this idea and if you are supportive, would welcome discussion of any improvements, or changes to the proposal. I cannot speak for your community, but I hope you will give consideration to such a contribution to support ICANN. 

 

I am privileged to serve as the Chair of the BC of the GNSO at this time.  This proposal is provided as an individual elected leader, and not on behalf of the BC.  However, the business community, in general, believes that the Board selection committee would benefit from an improved understanding of the broader ICANN community's expectations.  Clearly, in the end, the decision rests with the Board itself.  This proposed working group will not, and should not change that. But, it provides an important feedback loop that presently seems lacking. 

 

I would welcome any feedback or comments. 

 

As noted, I made it clear that this is not a group proposal, but I would hope that it would gain your support. 

 

Please note that I also proposed some additional functions, none of which should be significantly time consuming. 

 

Paul/John: might I ask you to share with your counterparts?

 

 

Marilyn Cade
