When we have tried this (as the NC I was on did), we found that it was confusing to Senior executives that they were going through this layered and generalistic approach. The head hunter turned up people who didn't know ICANN and wanted to be on paid boards, Years have passed, and there is improvement in approach as well as more understanding about ICANN. Others on more recent NCs will have better insights, like Sarah and Waudo, Phil Lodico...... It is worth a discussion, I think. The geographical diversity issue and gender issues should also be addressed in our thoughts about good candidates. Keeping in mind that the NC also has important appointments in Councils and ALAC, as well.

It's good to hear the historical context around the Nom Comm considering appointing the NCAs to houses rather than having council wrestle with it. Waudo and I are grateful for this input and solicit other member's suggestions/recommendations as well. Kind regards, RA Ronald N.

Very helpful, item number 2 in particular as the Council got itself tied into a knot on this point last year. I was intrigued by the notion of using a headhunter, too. It will, of course, cost money, but if ICANN is to bust out of its narrower history of choice, invitation and selection, it might just do the trick. I wonder, though, if an interim step might be considered. There are a (growing) number of companies and organizations that participate in ICANN right now. These entities have two perquisites. One, they are familiar with ICANN. Two, they have their own boards comprised of outside directors. I wonder if there is a way to partner with this group to recruit senior level executives from that pool of talent? It would be cool to tap into the executive reach of companies like AT&T or organizations like the United Way. Too crazy?
