All,
Does this get at the intent? Suggestions
are more than welcome as I think we are breaking new ground
here. I apologize if the format is not perfect, but if we
crowdsource it, I think we can button it up.
Cheers,
Berard
Whereas, Fadi Chehade was announced
as the new CEO and President of ICANN at the organization’s
meeting in Prague in June 2012, and
Whereas, in his first presentation
to the ICANN community in Prague in June 2012, he noted that
“I am driven by building consensus. It is the reason I am
here today. There is no other reason. I love doing this.
Bringing communities that on the face of it could never be
brought together to agree on common things is exactly what I
strive to do,” and
Whereas, as reported at the time he
joined ICANN, “In selecting Chehade, ICANN went with someone
who isn't well known and isn't well versed in the
organization's core tasks — keeping the Internet address
system running smoothly,” and
Whereas, in the two years of his
term, the landscape of the Internet and role played by ICANN
has changed in ways equal only to the origin of the
organization, including significant budget and staff
increases, and
Whereas, in response to the
expanded attention to the domain name system and ICANN’s
role in managing it, Chehade has championed changes in the
policy development process,
Therefore, beginning on March 26,
2014 with the passage of this motion, and continuing through
the next ICANN public meeting in London in June 2014, the
community, under the leadership of a review committee
comprised of the GNSO’s constituency and stakeholder
leadership, shall have the opportunity to offer comment on
the performance of the CEO.
