by Stéphane Van Gelder Oct. 23, 2011

Oct. 23, 2011

Councillors, The CCTC has appointed Rosemary Sinclair as its Chair. Congratulations Rosemary and thanks for your willingness to do this. As Rosemary is stepping down from the Council on Wednesday, we have to consider the issue of Council Liaison to this group. I understand that there are volunteers willing to take this role on. If that is the case, could those people please make themselves known. Finally, please note that a workshop is scheduled on this topic on Thursday from 7 to 8:30 am. Please refer to our schedule if you would like to attend this. Also, the WG has requested that I advise the GAC of its charter. Please let me know if there is opposition to me doing that, as Chair.

RE: [council] Thoughts on the GAC advice
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 23, 2011

Oct. 23, 2011

I guess I disagree. If we use "participation" instead of their "advice", I think that we are on safe ground. The GAC gave us guidelines for the new gTLD policy. We did not always follow them, and some of those were the ones that they later raised with the Board. If they had truly "participated" instead of each of us throwing documents over the wall, we would have been far better off.

Thoughts on the GAC advice

Oct. 23, 2011

Since Adobe keeps crashing on me, here's what I've been trying to type into its chat. We welcome the GAC's participation in the GNSO discussion and Policy Development Process. We will take comments into account, and we hope likewise that the GAC will find participating in Council discussions a helpful alternative to giving Advice to the Board as well as offering a preview of the Board's potential responses to that Advice. --Wendy

AW: [council] Meeting with the Board - Qualities of a new CEO
by "Kleinwächter, Wolfgang" Oct. 23, 2011

Oct. 23, 2011

Hi everybody this is my first mail to the Council-List. I am not yet a member so I apologize for starting early. I wanted to make just one point with regard to the CEO. In the NomCom we had long discussions about the natrue of ICANN as a provate corporation and the fact, that there is a great difference between a "shareholder corporation" and a "stakeholder corporation". Sometimes we had the impression (not only in the NomCom) that there are a number of people who want to see ICANN as a "shareholder company" like Intel, Google, Microsoft or Versign. This would be a great misunderstanding. ICANN is not owned by "Shareholders" (and has not to please them). ICANN is constituted by "Stakeholders" (and has to please all of them equally). What does it mean for the new CEO? She/he certainly has to understand how to manage a 100 million corporation but not in a sense to maximize profit. She/he has to understand that ICANN manages a "public trust" on behalf of a broad variety of stakeholders rooted in the private sector, in the technical community, in the civil society and in governments. My 2 cents. wolfgang ________________________________ Von: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org im Auftrag von Jonathan Robinson Gesendet: So 23.10.2011 11:39 An: 'Andrei Kolesnikov'; 'GNSO Council List' Betreff: RE: [council] Meeting with the Board - Qualities of a new CEO Thanks Andrei, Anyone else?

Experience with international relations, knowing different cultures, dealing with it, practice; 2. Means to support multistakeholder model: experience in balancing of the interests being a neutral; 3. Family/enterprise/corporate experience in managing funds and companies. CEO experience; 4. The last one charisma and leadership: work to do and balance is more important that running a roadshow. And my favorite one. I strongly believe that names of all candidates must be aired. I don't care if anyone will be hurt by not picking as CEO and consider this secrecy as an attempt to hide deals behind it. Running for a president and loose won't hurt anybody in America or elsewhere. --andrei From: owner-council(a)gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Jonathan Robinson Sent: Saturday, October 22, 2011 8:15 PM To: 'GNSO Council List' Subject: [council] Meeting with the Board - Qualities of a new CEO Importance: High All, PLEASE GIVE INPUT IN ORDER TO BEST INFORM TOMORROW'S DISCUSSION WITH THE BOARD Thanks, Jonathan ________________________ Hiring a new CEO What qualities do you think we ought to be seeking in a new CEO? Perhaps thinking about: · The nature of ICANN & the role it plays. Balancing technology sector, innovation, operational stability, financial management, being run in the public trust · Qualities of the previous incumbents and what you did or did not think were effective (for ICANN) about them? · The new/current world order (AOC, new gTLD programme, global economic environment, emergence of new technologies, enhanced interest of governments) · Desirable skills & experience - charisma, leadership, government relations, private sector, financial, operational, international experience What are your criteria for openness, transparency etc. in the hiring process? (bearing in mind considerations of responsibility to candidates and community, privacy, Board confidence) · Do we expect to see (and influence by e.g. public comment) the specification and key selection criteria? · Do we expect see and give feedback on the above or anything before the hiring process commences? · Do we expect to have any interaction during the course of the hiring process? Updates, information, influence? If so, how? · Do we expect to influence or comment on the final outcome? Anything else? · Any other comments or issues on the hiring of a new CEO? · Performance criteria and measures of a successful appointment? · Term & termination provisions? __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 6566 (20111022) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com <http://www.eset.com/>
