Very good. I had several good enough feedbacks. And a lot of comments about the challenges he will face anyway, just by the fact he is American & came from a part of the US gov people around the world has some antipathy... but internally he will quite better. My suggestion would be to him to hire persons around the world with diplomatic capacity to do the external affairs job he will have difficulty to perform Vanda Scartezini POLO Consultores Associados & IT Trend Alameda Santos 1470 cjs 1407/8 01418-903 Sao Paulo,SP.

Any one who follows my tweets would also know I had a 'formal' introduction / meeting with him yesterday morning ;-) BTW if you want my totally biased view => then it is "so far so good" and he has a Huge Thumbs Up from me based on that interaction and what I've searched out, watched and heard so far... So if/when this important appointment is confirmed his week, then we certainly will be in a time of transition with a leader well equipped to deal with those challenges *and* who understands ICANN's needs for Transparency Openness (as opposed to Open(m)ess but he does understand both our concerns and needs for both Internationalization as well as Regionalization as far as I can ascertain.... I'm also sure he will be happy to meet with/ engage with our Community(ies) at the earliest possible time... CLO 2009/6/25 Patrick Vande Walle <patrick@vande-walle.eu>
Oh yes. I can confirm this gentleman has been here in Sydney for the whole week with an ICANN staff badge, but we are still waiting for a official announcement.
