Thanks, Keith.  Agree a two week extension is reasonable given the circumstances.  I hope providing additional details about the anticipated workload, pace, and intensity for phase 2 increases the pool of viable candidates.  

But for the sake of argument, what if it does not?  I think we need to start thinking that through now and not wait until our 18 April meeting to start considering our options.  A few thoughts I have:
  • We can extend the application deadline one more time if necessary; although doing so is likely only productive if there is a serious outreach campaign to locate additional qualified applicants.
  • What if the chair was a paid position?  I know this wasn't a popular idea during our Kobe meeting, and I can understand why.  But maybe we need to rethink that and explore budget options with ICANN.
  • Re-evaluate the charter for leadership make up/selection.  
    • What if we select 2 co-chairs, one from each house?
    • If Council selects the chair through the established process, maybe each house selects a vice chair.  With 2 vice chairs, the chair will have more support.
Ideas from others?

Thanks,
Darcy

Thanks for this, Keith. A two week extension sounds most sensible.

Best wishes, Ayden

Hi all,

 

The deadline for the EOI response has passed and there was only one respondent. In light of the EPDP and GNSO Council discussions in Kobe, I think it’s appropriate to extend the deadline for two weeks to Monday, 8 April while providing some additional details about the anticipated work load and pace/intensity of Phase 2. I hope this will inform potential Chair candidates and encourage a more robust response.  We have updated the attached EOI document accordingly, which will be posted later today.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.


Regards,
Keith

How does the attached look? Note that I’ll be traveling part of the day tomorrow so I may be less responsive. Please make sure to copy in Nathalie on the final version so she can co-ordinate the distribution.

 

Thanks,
