Thoughts Requested on ICANN CEO Criteria
Dear ALAC and RALO Chairs, I am very much looking forward to seeing you and other At-Large community members again at the upcoming ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires. *Important Topic Alert* The Board is interested in your input to help us refine the selection criteria for the next ICANN CEO. - On Sunday June 21st, there will be an ALAC/At-Large session with me, which will focus on the CEO Search and Criteria. - On Thursday June 25th, there will be a Board Session on the CEO Succession Process right before the Public Forum where your input would be invaluable. *Key Questions:* What characteristics and skills would you like to see in the future ICANN CEO? As no one person will meet all the desired criteria, which criteria are most important? What distribution of characteristics and skills would you like to see? I request that members of the ALAC and the At-Large spare some time thinking about and discussing this important topic. If RALO Chairs could facilitate discussions at the regional level leading up to Buenos Aires, that would be extremely helpful to feed into the discussions in Buenos Aires. As a reference and trigger for your thoughts and discussion, below is the CEO Profile from the 2011 CEO Search materials. I look forward to your input. Best regards, Rinalia *CEO Profile [from CEO Search in 2011*] Candidates will be expected to demonstrate to the highest degree possible the following experience and skills.

Hola all . Besides knowledge of management and disposition to understand on how to work with community, I would like to think a little out of the box. 1. one point that for me was never well defined under the president mission and I have the opportunity to talk longer with the head hunter which selected Fadi was how same person can impersonate two very different required personalities doing both tasks with excellence. I explain
* Personality A excellent manager, large history in hugh position on corporations profit and not profit, with large budget and large amount of people together with a large number of clients to deal with * Personality B be a diplomatic person with huge understanding of government specificities, knowledge of protocols, reading government persons ³encrypt² messages and all the aspects of a large term dealing with these aspects as day by day work. What iCANN demands with the actual estructure is a person with both personalities and experience and I believe this not only demands too much from a person and the time a person can dedicate to both sides is reduced, or a person will not perform with excellence one of the two sides.
My simple suggestion for you all to think about is split the function. Work as parallel activities, in a collaborative model this is the new capitalism anyway and one has the responsibility with a corporation excellence and other with the interrelation with governments and international organisations and will dedicate whole time to this task. As I said it is out of convencional structure under any corporation, but ICANN shall be different anyway. My 0.2 cents Kisses to all Vanda Scartezini Polo Consultores Associados Av.

Good point Rinalia. I think we enter the consolidation and stabilisation phase - if all goes well with the IANA transition. If not we end up in the stage of risk management. I also very much agree on the comments Vanda made. IMPOV the least ICANN needs is an new CEO arriving with plenty of great ideas how to "improve" the organisation. With this I express my concern that we end up for instance with another new website whilst the current is not fully working. Also new tools, plenty of new staff might not be the best way forward. I would wish a new CEO takes itself a lot of time to understand the organisation before taking any action (My ICANN is a great example here). With this I mean taking time to get a deep understanding of the dynamics among SO/AC and the connection between Staff and community - how it is supposed to be and what are the realities. We all know from our own experience when coming to ICANN, that this process of real understanding takes longer than once might expect. Another point will be to take up the actions and initiatives which are already developed by and within the community instead of swamping the community with lots of actions for their good.

Hello all, My recommendations would be to ensure the next CEO comes from a not for profit background and has wide international experience. Also needs diplomatic skills. The "C" in ICANN has been way too dominant to the extent the organisation has had trouble acting in the public interest. Kind regards, Olivier Sent from my iPad

+1 to all the contributions that have been made so far. I agree that we need someone with a new set of skills rather than a whole new set of ideas. And it would be good to be able to return to our core business. We need some stability after all this turmoil over the past year and a bit. At the same time we dont want someone boring...but after Fadi its going to be difficult to find someone who can keep up the motivation as we are winding down from the hype created by the IANA Transition and ICANN Accountability ☺ On 8/06/2015 9:13 PM, "Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond" <ocl@gih.com> wrote:

Hello all,
My recommendations would be to ensure the next CEO comes from a not for profit background and has wide international experience. Also needs diplomatic skills. The "C" in ICANN has been way too dominant to the extent the organisation has had trouble acting in the public interest. Kind regards,
Olivier

I am very much looking forward to seeing you and other At-Large community members again at the upcoming ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires.
Important Topic Alert The Board is interested in your input to help us refine the selection criteria for the next ICANN CEO. - On Sunday June 21st, there will be an ALAC/At-Large session with me, which will focus on the CEO Search and Criteria. - On Thursday June 25th, there will be a Board Session on the CEO Succession Process right before the Public Forum where your input would be invaluable.
Key Questions: What characteristics and skills would you like to see in the future ICANN CEO? As no one person will meet all the desired criteria, which criteria are most important? What distribution of characteristics and skills would you like to see?
I request that members of the ALAC and the At-Large spare some time thinking about and discussing this important topic. If RALO Chairs could facilitate discussions at the regional level leading up to Buenos Aires, that would be extremely helpful to feed into the discussions in Buenos Aires.
As a reference and trigger for your thoughts and discussion, below is the CEO Profile from the 2011 CEO Search materials.
I look forward to your input.

RE: CEO Search The challenge for any executive search is to balance experience, skills and interpersonal (emotional intelligence). Some people are suggesting we recruit prospects from the Non Profit sector ie Red Cross etc to lead ICANN. My problem is that the history of NOMCOM recruits from the business community and I daresay that if we have a strong NGO leader we may have a clash of 'culture' on style and substance between a 'business board' and a Non Profit leader. I would strongly advise that the new board being oriented with the Carver model of Board governance which provides insight into non profit board operations Glenn Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

Hi Colleagues, I think we can still find a good CEO since we have identified some of the core attributes s/he requires. I suggest we start the process by looking within the Community, going forward it will be important to factor succession planning into the organization by creating a substantive Chief Operating Officer position in the structure of the organization.

RE: CEO Search
The challenge for any executive search is to balance experience, skills and interpersonal (emotional intelligence). Some people are suggesting we recruit prospects from the Non Profit sector ie Red Cross etc to lead ICANN. My problem is that the history of NOMCOM recruits from the business community and I daresay that if we have a strong NGO leader we may have a clash of 'culture' on style and substance between a 'business board' and a Non Profit leader. I would strongly advise that the new board being oriented with the Carver model of Board governance which provides insight into non profit board operations

Hello all,
My recommendations would be to ensure the next CEO comes from a not for profit background and has wide international experience. Also needs diplomatic skills. The "C" in ICANN has been way too dominant to the extent the organisation has had trouble acting in the public interest. Kind regards,
Olivier

*_An additional, but key consideration in your discussions: _
Think about the stage of development of ICANN as an organization and the kind of CEO that would be suited for that and the next stage.*
There are CEOs that are suitable for the start-up phase, growth and expansion, consolidation and stabilization, etc.
The context of ICANN's stage of development and the desired next phase will serve as a frame for the CEO criteria.
Best regards,

Dear ALAC and RALO Chairs,
I am very much looking forward to seeing you and other At-Large community members again at the upcoming ICANN meeting in Buenos Aires.
_Important Topic Alert_ The Board is interested in your input to help us refine the selection criteria for the next ICANN CEO. - On Sunday June 21st, there will be an ALAC/At-Large session with me, which will focus on the CEO Search and Criteria. - On Thursday June 25th, there will be a Board Session on the CEO Succession Process right before the Public Forum where your input would be invaluable.
_Key Questions:_ What characteristics and skills would you like to see in the future ICANN CEO? As no one person will meet all the desired criteria, which criteria are most important? What distribution of characteristics and skills would you like to see?
I request that members of the ALAC and the At-Large spare some time thinking about and discussing this important topic. If RALO Chairs could facilitate discussions at the regional level leading up to Buenos Aires, that would be extremely helpful to feed into the discussions in Buenos Aires.
As a reference and trigger for your thoughts and discussion, below is the CEO Profile from the 2011 CEO Search materials.
I look forward to your input.
Best regards,
Rinalia
