These changes have resulted from my “listening and learning” phase, and I have shared them to date with ICANN staff and the Board. I will be sharing more at the opening session at the ICANN meeting, but want to provide just a few highlights for you as well: > > THE TEAM > > First, as you may already know, I officially assumed the position of President andChief Executive Officer on September 14, two weeks ahead of my planned start date. I have also appointed new members to the ICANN Leadership team, to complement our existing deep experience with fresh perspectives from international executives. The two new members of the team are Tarek Kamel and Sally Costerton. Tarek, Egypt’s former Communications Minister, who already leads the development of ICANN’s Africa strategy, will assume the role of Senior Advisor for Government Affairs, leading all aspects of ICANN’s Government Engagement. I have asked Sally, who was most recently CEO of Hill & Knowlton Public Relations for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, to lead in a new position responsible for Stakeholder Engagement, and she willalso oversee the Communications function. I am using this email to introduce Sally to you as well, in hopes that you will be in contact soon. > > Both Sally and Tarek will be based in ICANN's European region and will report directly to me. Their goal is to strengthen ICANN's international engagement at all levels. > > As for additional members of the leadership team: > > · Akram Atallah's role will be expanded to include oversight of Registry and Registrar Services, the new generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) program, Security and other important activities. > · Kurt Pritz, Senior Vice President, will take on a new role as Chief of Strategy. > · John Jeffrey, General Counsel and Secretary of the ICANN Board, will continue in that role. > · David Olive, Vice President of Policy, will also continue in his current role. > > Finally, in what I feel is a significant organizational development, Maguy Serad, Senior Director of Contractual Compliance, has been promoted to Vice President, with her department reporting directly to me. > > THE ORGANIZATION > > In order to make ICANN truly international, and to make sure that these changes put stakeholders at the very heart of our organization, we will reconfigureICANN as a global matrix organization, bringing regionally dedicated and functional staff together to collaborate as teams serving the interests of our community, and enhancing engagement. We will also be shifting our centers of gravity, relocating leadership of key managementfunctions outside the United States. > > THE PRIORITIES > > Taking our cue from the Strategic Plan developed by the Community and the Board, we have begun work on an execution plan to provide greater visibility, management efficiency and direction to the work we do. I will provide more details in Toronto on how our execution will be directed toward a set of objectives: > > Delivering Operations Excellence, > Evolving and Strengthening the Multi-Stakeholder Model, > Establishing and Refining ICANN’s Clarity of Purpose, and > Ushering in ICANN’s true Internationalization > > Sally Costerton can provide more details on these plans, but, like me, she has been in a “listening and learning phase” of her own. I hope the two of you will have a chance to speak soon. > > Our work to date has been possible thanks to the open dialogue and information sharing you to which you have been kind enough to contribute. I hope that we can continue to build upon this collaborative foundation, and I look forward to hearing your views in Toronto. > > Sincerely, > > Fadi Chehadé >

FW:] Proposed alternative TMCH implementation model
by Neuman, Jeff Sept. 26, 2012

Sept. 26, 2012

All, I wanted to forward this to the Council. Unfortunately the documents posted by ICANN on the clearinghouse did NOT include any of the materials and information discussed with the tech group for the past several months. It is an omission the group has asked ICANN to correct. In the meantime, these documents are now out for public comment. We have asked ICANN to open an official ICANN public comment on it as well. We, the registries that have worked on this, believe that these alternate models better reflect the principals in the Applicant Guidebook, while at the same time presents a solution that is more easily implement able by the registries to keep the costs down for trademark owners sand applicants. This was truly developed in a bottom up approach and represents comments received by the tech group. Please forward on to your respective constituencies, advisory committees and stakeholder groups. I am happy to discuss in Toronto and to answer any questions, Thanks, Sent with Good (www.good.com) -----Original Message----- From: Chris Wright [mailto:chris@ausregistry.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2012 04:26 AM Eastern Standard Time To: Chris Wright Subject: [REGYCON] Proposed alternative TMCH implementation model All As you may be aware, ARI Registry Services in conjunction with Neustar, Verisign and Demand Media have spent the past three months producing an alternative solution for the operation of ICANN�s Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) for the new Top-Level Domain (TLD) program. Today we are publishing the results of this work in the form of three white papers which outline concerns with ICANN�s current TMCH proposal and provide an alternative model that addresses those concerns whilst meeting all the requirements outlined in the Applicant Guidebook and those further stipulated by ICANN. Please see the attached documents (or view my blog about the subject here: http://www.ariservices.com/blog/community-support-required-for-alternative-…) We are now seeking public feedback, comment and support for this alternative proposal to demonstrate to ICANN that there is a consensus for change. I encourage everyone involved or interested in the new TLD program to review the alternative approach and voice your opinion on the matter to ICANN. Please help spread the word, I will communicate the official ICANN link as soon as the documents are posted. The TMCH is a crucial element of the new TLD program that affects us all and we cannot afford to get this wrong.
